College is possible. Let’s make a plan to get there.
Most families want college to be an option for their young adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities—but too often, no one is talking about it. We’re here to change that.
Join us for a four-part training series designed to help you explore what’s possible, build a plan, and support your young adult in taking the next step toward independence, connection, and a meaningful future.
Why this matters
Across the country, more than 300 Inclusive Postsecondary Education (IPSE) programs are opening doors—and the outcomes are real. Students who participate are more likely to:
- Gain employment
- Build independence
- Develop self-advocacy skills
- Form lasting relationships
This is about more than college. It's about creating opportunity and expanded pathways.
What you’ll gain
In these sessions, you’ll learn how to:
- Explore real postsecondary options—and how to access them
- Build skills for independence at home and in the community
- Choose programs that align with your goals
- Support confidence, decision-making, and self-advocacy
You’ll leave with practical strategies and a clearer path forward.
