KU Transition to Postsecondary Education for Youth with Intellectual Disability

2018

The KU Transition to Postsecondary Education for Youth with Intellectual Disabilities (KU-TPE) model demonstration program is designed to ensure that students with ID have the opportunity to experience an inclusive PSE program which involves participating in all campus academic and student life activities. KU-TPE will ensure that students with ID experience high quality and fully inclusive work-based learning for successful inclusive employment outcomes. Core to all activities of KU-TPE is the emphasis on extending, and enhancing existing KU student educational support programs to include youth with ID, rather than creating new programs only for youth with ID. We will work closely with local school districts as well as KU Academic Affairs, Academic Achievement and Access Center, the Center for Educational Opportunity Programs, Student Involvement and Leadership Center, and other KU student programs. KU-TPE will ensure that youth with ID are fully included with the supports needed to participate in the KU experience
