Students enrolled in inclusive postsecondary college programs develop mastery and gain knowledge on a range of topics. They learn how to problem solve, collaborate, and take initiative. They develop leadership and communication skills. Yet, how do you demonstrate such competencies in the absence of formal certification or degree?
Picking up where they left off, Kathy Becht & Dee Sapp will discuss what they thought they knew and what they learned on the fly while preparing their sons with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities to go to college. Topics covered will include relationships & free time, establishing routines, creating and using a schedule, transportation, and more.

Getting it Right AND Learning on the Fly: Prepared for College?
Join the NCC for the second presentation in the "Get to know the Think College National Coordinating Center" webinar series.
Getting it Right AND Learning on the Fly: Prepared for College?
Starting in 2010, the NCC has been collecting program and student data from Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disability (TPSIDs) for over 10 years. Data, like how programs are staffed and what students do, provide insight into what can help students achieve their desired outcomes of academic inclusion and employment. Join us to learn what we have discovered from a decade of data collection and evaluation.
The National Coordinating Center released a report to Congress and the Secretary of Education on model program accreditation standards for inclusive higher education programs in September, 2020. This webinar provided information to better understand how these standards will improve quality and accountability for college programs for students with ID and how the standards will have a positive impact on the field.
Topics Covered:
The first session in a 4-part series “Get to know the Think College National Coordinating Center,” this webinar will provide information on NCC’s plans for the future and share an overview of the supports and resources on inclusive postsecondary education the NCC has been delivering over the past 10 years.
