The Transition Program for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) Model Demonstration Projects are required to support students through a focus on academic, social, employment, and independent living strategies. Twenty-seven five-year grants started on October 1, 2010. The range of strategies implemented by these grantees suggests that there is not a one-size-fits-all model for program implementation.
This Credential Action Planning (CAP) tool supports postsecondary education programs for students with intellectual disabilities in the development of a meaningful credential that can be earned by the students attending their program. It includes a checklist that takes the user through each step in the process, allowing space for indicating where they are in the process and to take notes on each step.
Think College Insight Brief #25 shares strategies and processes that can be used by programs when they are developing the credential that students will earn. An accompanying Credential Action Planning Tool is also available from Think College.
