This webinar, hosted by RAISE and moderated by Dan Habib, was held on March 18, 2024. Two college students, Will Johnson and Kaylie L., shared with Dan about their experiences in college, how they got there, and what they're doing now. Below is the description of the webinar and the recording, which is also available in Spanish. 

Students with intellectual disability want to go to college – and they can! But they can’t get there alone. They need educators and family members who understand the skills necessary to make it happen and will support them to achieve their goals. And they need resources to help them (and their families!) understand the college search and application process.

Think College created the “Think Higher. Think College.” public awareness campaign to inform and educate teachers, school administrators, support professionals, college staff and faculty, families, and students that college is an option for students with intellectual disability.

The public awareness campaign includes new tools to make the process understandable and doable. Watch this webinar to learn about the current picture of inclusive higher education in the US and hear from college students with intellectual disability from around the country, educators, and family members to learn how to “Think Higher. Think College.” together. Presented by Dan Habib.
