The P721Q CUNY Unlimited Queens College Inclusion Program services alternately assessed students 18-21 who are part of the Department of Education. Students partake in all aspects of campus life including sitting-in on college courses and participating in various clubs. Career exploration, vocational training, life skills development, and socialization are taught to prepare students for adult life. Students participate in a myriad of internships to support post-secondary goals. Our program utilizes person-centered planning to ensure that students receive an experience that is both challenging and fun! Instruction is IEP-driven and students with mandated services continue to receive those services while enrolled in the program. Application only. Not borough specific.
