Additional Resources


CAMPUS VISITS

In addition to learning about inclusive services for students with intellectual disability, it can be helpful for students to visit campus or take a virtual tour to learn more about the college campus. We encourage students to take the general campus tour. If you'd like to meet with staff of the inclusive service offices while on campus, you can email them to ask to set up a time to meet.

Download our contact sheet for inclusive office staff

As a reminder, all inclusive services are offered by each institute of higher education. IN! raises awareness about these options in Colorado but does not provide direct services to students.

PAYING FOR COLLEGE

How to pay for college is a question that many families have. Resources available to students with intellectual disabilities include traditional resources like financial aid (grants, work study) and scholarships, as well as some disability-specific resources. For more information, visit our Financial Resources page or download our Financial Variables PDF.

OPTIONS OUTSIDE OF COLORADO

Think College, the national coordinating center for inclusive higher education, has lots of resources to help students with intellectual disability look for colleges across the country.

If you are looking for more general information on college options for students with intellectual disability, trying to decide where to start, or just have questions, schedule a meeting with Elise Kramer - IN!'s Program Coordinator. You can sign up for Prospective Family Office Hours each Tuesday from 3-5pm, attend one of our monthly webinars to find out more, or email Elise directly at elise@inclusivehighered.org.
