College is Possible for Students with Intellectual Disabilities!

 

 

Students with intellectual disability can go to college. Learn more at the “Think Higher. Think College.” public awareness campaign website (www.ThinkHigherEd.net). There’s a new video and extensive resources to support and expand college options for students with ID.

 

The “Think Higher. Think College.” campaign is part of the Think College Inclusive Higher Education Network’s work to promote inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) opportunities for students with intellectual disability. The goals of the campaign are to increase knowledge of inclusive college options, share information about the benefits and outcomes of students with intellectual disability attending college, and offer people ways to spread the message:

“Think Higher. Think College.”
