This essential guide offers a practical framework for developing a successful Post-Secondary Education (PSE) program for students with intellectual disabilities—one of the fastest-growing areas in higher education. Written by leaders of one of the nation's top PSE programs, this book distills their extensive experience mentoring over 90 colleges and universities into a practical, jargon-free guide. Featuring clear, actionable insights for creating a successful, tailor-made program, chapter topics include functional academics, independent living skills, and employment readiness. Written for college administrators, special education teachers, and parents, this book sheds light on how PSE programs not only enrich the college experience for students with intellectual disabilities but also equip them with the skills to thrive as self-sufficient adults.
