College is Possible for Students with Intellectual Disabilities

by renee on December 24, 2009

Students with intellectual disabilities are able to attend college and SUCCEED at a small, but growing, number of colleges that have programs and support for them. Begun at University of Massachusetts Boston where I was the associate director of disability support services for 3 years, the Think College web site offers a myriad of resources for students and families, including a searchable database of college programs for this population, articles, and much more.

I have successfully worked with this population for many years and can advise families about appropriate placements.
