College-based programs can offer a range of opportunities for youth with disabilities that include access to inclusive college classes with typically-enrolled peers, specialized instruction in foundational literacy/numeracy, integrated social and recreational activities and a wide range of adult age-appropriate vocational/career and independent living skills.
