Project Description:

KU LEAP program will focus on promoting competencies in three areas of critical need in research and teacher education in the field of special education and severe disabilities: (a) promoting appropriately ambitious goals and curriculum, (b) enabling college and career readiness in students with severe disabilities across K-12 grades, and (c) building strengths-based systems of supports that promote inclusion and valued adult outcomes. KU LEAP will support four scholars for five years to develop discipline-specific content knowledge, research skills, knowledge of teacher preparation approaches, and an understanding of the culture of academia to gain successful employment within higher education institutions.
