This presentation examined the experiences of students with disabilities in higher education, emphasizing inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) as an important pathway to college access and participation. Through the lived experiences of a self-advocate, participants explored barriers to disclosure, belonging, and affordability, and considered how state financial aid and coordinated supports can expand opportunities and improve postsecondary outcomes for students with disabilities.
