Linking Inclusive K-12 Schooling to Inclusive Postsecondary Opportunities for Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities LIMITED
Friday June 6, 2025 1:05pm - 2:10pm EDT
Room 606
There are a growing number of students with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD) in New Jersey schools expressing interest in following the life-paths of their same-aged peers, which includes attending a college or university. In this workshop, we will share a myriad of college opportunities that exist for students with IDD and discuss how school professionals, students, and families can become aware of their options, while also pre-planning for students to acquire college-readiness skills during high school and transition programs. Participants will learn how to assure young adults with ID are well-prepared to apply for and succeed in college.
