It's going to be so much fun to teach our new intern about the ins-and-outs of writing and product development, and to learn from her about attending an inclusive college program!

For the past few years, we have included student interviews in the National Coordinating Center monthly newsletter. These interviews spotlight students with intellectual disabilities currently enrolled in college or who recently graduated. 

The National Coordinating Center’s Evaluation Team is thrilled to share the Annual Report of the Cohort 2 TPSID Model Demonstration Projects (year 5, 2019-2020).

The Think College National Coordinating Center has a lot of big plans for 2021! In an effort to speed along the last 10 days of 2020, we did a countdown on social media of some of the things we are most looking forward to in 2021. In case you took a tech break or enjoyed some well-deserved time off, or just missed it altogether, we are doing a recap here...

In mid-October, I had the opportunity to meet Cassidy Bauer (by Zoom, of course). Maria Paiewonsky, a Project Coordinator and transition specialist at Think College at the Institute for Community Inclusion, introduced us and the three of us talked together about college and work and Cassidy’s love of the food industry and her other interests.
