"Thinking College: A Conversation Between Ewidji and Lounes" is a short video that introduces students to the early steps of exploring college options.
In the video, two students share how they began looking for college programs and what helped them make decisions along the way. Viewers are introduced to College Search, a tool on the Think College website that serves as a national directory of college programs for students with intellectual disability.
This resource explains:
What College Search is and how it works
How to look for programs across the country
Different ways to search, including options for housing, inclusive classes, public or private schools, and financial aid
The video also encourages students to take their time, identify what matters to them, and ask questions throughout the college search process.
This resource is designed for students with intellectual disability who are beginning to explore college, as well as families, educators, and support professionals who assist with the college search process.
