In this Fast Fact #14, we examine recent retention data on students attending Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSIDs), and make comparisons to retention rates of undergraduate students from a national data source. As retention has been found to differ between 2-year and 4-year institutions and between residential and non-residential campuses (Tinto, 2006–2007), we make these comparisons with the TPSID data.

This practical guide can be used by colleges, universities, and other institutions of higher education interested in developing inclusive living opportunities for students with intellectual disability (ID) on college campuses. It offers suggestions on weighing potential benefits and risks, minimizing liability concerns for individuals with and without ID living and learning together, making connections with various campus partners, and conceptualizing how to proactively meet the individualized student support needs in college residence halls.

Think College staff presented several sessions at the November 2017 State of the Art Conference on Postsecondary Education for Students with Intellectual Disability in Syracuse, NY.  Here you can download PPT slides from each session.

Data on student outcomes is critical for program evaluation and advocacy. In this webinar, we present a process and strategies and that can be used to collect student outcome data. We share examples of tools that are used to document student outcomes from one program as well as the TPSID follow-up data tool. Ideas of how to use outcome data will be shared. The webinar is designed for programs that are not currently collecting data through the TPSID Data Network.
