Vocational rehabilitation (VR) professionals can (and should!) "Think Higher. Think College." In this video, hear from two VR professionals from Oklahoma and Indiana about ways they have worked with students with intellectual disability to set and achieve postsecondary goals of college and work. The addition of VR professionals to the inclusive postsecondary education is critical. Use this video to educate professionals in K-12, vocational rehabilitation, and inclusive postsecondary education.
The second half of this video is the "Think Higher. Think College." (THTC) campaign video which highlights the many things students with intellectual disability love about college: living in the dorm, taking classes that they choose, making friends, eating good food, participating in campus activities, and being independent. Hear from students and faculty from 5 different college campuses around the country about all the ways everyone benefits from students with intellectual disability going to college.
