The IUPUI SITE (Skills for Independence, Transition, and Employment) program has a new website. A collaboration of the Indianapolis Public Schools and IUPUI, SITE enables individuals with intellectual disabilities to participate in postsecondary programming on the IUPUI campus. Click here to find out more about the young men and women who are changing their lives through SITE.
SITE is expanding in the 2012-13 academic year to include the school districts surrounding Indianapolis. The Indiana Institute on Disability and Community was awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Education in 2010 to create the Indiana Partnership for Education and Careers project. A key component of the project is partnering with the SITE program at IUPUI.
The project is also interested in establishing additional programs at other institutions of higher education to expand opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Visit Think College Indiana for more information.
