Creating inclusive college opportunities in Colorado for students with intellectual disabilities to foster academic growth, social development, and career advancement.

  • The first graduates of Colorado inclusive higher education pathways are coming your way in May 2020! Click here to get to know them.

  • History was made in 2016 when three Colorado colleges opened inclusive pathways to students with IDD. Click here to learn more about each program.

  • INclusivists support the belief that people with intellectual disabilities should have the opportunity to go to college!

Students with intellectual disabilities who successfully complete an inclusive, post-secondary education realize a competitive employment rate over 70%,
compared to less than 30% for similar adults with no post-secondary education.

IN!’s Vision

Students with intellectual disabilities will be welcomed on college campuses and allowed to continue their education and preparation for life, as inclusive pathways become part of the fabric of all colleges and universities throughout Colorado.

With your help we can make a difference.
 Learn more and get involved.
