Reimagining Our Limits: Addressing Barriers to College Access for Students With Intellectual Disability
Sun, April 24, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Tower, Ground Level, Pacific Ballroom 14Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
The inclusion of students with intellectual disability (ID) in postsecondary education (PSE) challenges notions of who should have access to college, what types of educational experience should be considered rigorous, what the purpose of higher education is, and whom it should serve. Inclusive PSE focuses on equalizing opportunities and providing educational equity to a group of traditionally marginalized and excluded students who can and do benefit from such inclusion indicating the social justice nature of this education initiative. The presentations in this session showcase cutting edge research on access to and supporting students with ID in PSE. Through exploring a range of perspectives, this session aims to encourage future research and engagement with inclusive PSE.
