This course is designed to deepen knowledge related to including individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), including Down syndrome (DS), in college settings and to research model post-secondary programs. Students will conduct a project investigating one model post-secondary program at an institute of higher education. This quarter, we will be focusing in on program aspects that support employment. We will complete the quarter by authoring guidelines for Stanford's developing post-secondary program related to employment training, internships, partnerships with future employers, and best practices for coaching and training individuals with IDD.
