Presentation

At the CEC 2019 conference, Meg Grigal, Debra Hart, and Clare Papay, along with Dana Lattin from University of Kansas presented Higher Education for Students With Intellectual Disability: Profiles of Effective Practice. This presentation covered the latest national data on access to higher education by students with intellectual disability, and provided concrete examples and strategies on access to inclusive college coursework, paid employment, and campus residential options.

NEAIR is an individual membership driven organization that promotes institutional effectiveness in postsecondary education through excellence in the field of institutional research. Clare Papay and Frank Smith presented a poster and presentation called Programs for Students with ID and IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data Systems).

Staff from the Think College National Coordinating Center presented on some current events related to inclusive higher education and activity from the NCC.

This resource shares a webinar transcript and PPT from a webinar presented by Cate Weir and Clare Papay of Think College in 2018, data are presented on the extent to which colleges and universities are offering credentials to students with ID and the types available. A Credential Action Planning Tool that can be used to develop meaningful credentials for students with ID is discussed.

This set of slides and recording accompany the February 20, 2018 webinar presentation called Non-degree Credentials of Value. We start with the basics: what are credentials and what are the different types? How do they work? Who offers them? Join Bryan Wilson, Director of the Workforce Data Quality Campaign, a project of the National Skills Coalition, to learn more about credentials and what they can mean for students with intellectual disabilities.

This resource includes the Power Point presentation for the webinar, Capitalizing on Inclusive Dual Enrollment Experiences for IEP Planning & Progress Monitoring. This webinar provided an overview of numerous ways that IEP team members are capitalizing on these college experiences to develop IEPs that reflect these rich transition experiences as well as to communicate the progress students are making on measurable postsecondary goals.

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.

Together with the RRTC on Transitioning Youth and Vocational Rehabilitation, Think College presents this collaborative webinar on vocational rehabilitation. It takes many pieces connected meaningfully in order for a puzzle to be seen for the vision it provides. This webinar is intended to explore examples of partnerships that meaningfully connect various pieces of community resource, resulting in a common vision that assists individuals with Intellectual Disability in achieving independence, careers and community engagement.

This online Research Summit from June 2017 featured two researchers who recently completed their doctoral dissertations in the area of postsecondary education for students with intellectual disability.  They presented their research and led a discussion on conducting doctoral research during the summit.

This presentation was given at the 2016 TPSID Project Director Meeting by Dr. Kelly Kelley.  It provides a helpful introduction to the steps to follow to assure that students with intellectual disabilities are supported to have meaningful access to and participation in inclusive academics in college.  It addresses class selection, academic supports, ongoing evaluation of progress, and communicating with faculty.
