Youth with intellectual disabilities have not had many chances to go to college. This is changing as individuals across the country begin to create opportunities for these youth to reap the benefits of postsecondary education. This website will provide information and links to anyone interested in finding out more about the possibilities. The site is divided into sections for students, family members, and professionals and features a searchable database of post-secondary programs that support youth with intellectual disabilities, a discussion board, a listserv, and a wide variety of web-based resources. www.thinkcollege.net
We are continuing to add information to this portion of the website. If you would like to suggest an article, resource, helpful website or publication, please e-mail candace@cflparents.org.
