Are you interested in learning what supports are available for college students with intellectual disabilities? Presenters Ashley Luce and Maria Paiewonsky will explore the comprehensive supports available on college campuses. Luke SaintAmour, a student at UMass Boston, will join to share his perspective.
Over the past 20 years, through innovative advocacy and educational policy, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have had the opportunity to attend college. For students enrolled in inclusive postsecondary education programs, this means enrolling in typical college classes alongside their peers. Whether students are enrolled to audit a class or take it for credit, students with IDD have demonstrated that they are not passive learners in college. Instead, they have demonstrated that, with appropriate support, they are actively engaged in classes, gaining knowledge and skills that align with the course objectives.
This webinar will shed light on the range of resources and strategies available to help students excel in inclusive programs. Our presenters will share their insights and experiences and suggest best practices.
