College programs for students with intellectual disability are designed to provide the same opportunities that all other students have in college: social inclusion, learning, and participation in classes and campus activities. The living and learning community (LLC) is one type of opportunity commonly offered at institutions of higher education (IHEs) that may have worthwhile benefits for students with intellectual disability. This brief details the process, findings, and implications of a scoping review of the scholarly literature on the use of LLCs for students with disabilities in college settings.
