Indiana Postsecondary Education Coalition


Wondering if your child should go to college? Nationwide, people with disabilities are finding more and more opportunities to fulfill their dreams of attending college courses with their peers.

In Indiana, choices are limited, but through the efforts of the Indiana Postsecondary Education Coalition, the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community was awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Education "to address systemic issues in Indiana as related to post-secondary education opportunities, and, for those individuals who chose this option, to promote the transition of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities into higher education."

A new website encourages college as an option for people with disabilities. Access the site at: http://www.thinkcollegeindiana.org/
