Presentation Overview: “Because THEY CAN!, College for Students with Intellectual Disability”
Students with intellectual disability are going to college in greater numbers than ever before. In this presentation, I’ll share how students are attending colleges around the country, what is expected of them in college, and how they are doing. Additionally, I’ll share what higher education deans and provosts are saying about the expanding student diversity on their campus. Finally, I’ll share how secondary educators can prepare students and families for college, and help them access the ThinkCollege.net national resource of college programs for students with intellectual disability.
