Rethinking College is one of the most powerful films I've ever seen. As inspirational as it is informative; it's on the cutting edge of a paradigm shift that is long overdue.

Rethinking College

Rethinking College is a 25-minute film produced by Think College that explores the growing movement to include students with intellectual disability in higher education.

Through the perspectives of parents, educators, advocates, policy leaders, and (most importantly) students, this film illustrates how colleges and universities can provide a setting for all students to grow, learn, and build toward better futures.

Suggested uses:

  • Instruct pre-service teachers about college as an option for all students
  • Educate parents about the possibilities of college
  • Encourage students with intellectual disability to consider and plan for college
  • Inform college administrators about the new movement towards more inclusive college campuses
