There are more and more individuals with Down syndrome pursuing postsecondary education after high school. The avenues through which these students pursue postsecondary education vary greatly and may include attending college through specialized programs for people with intellectual disabilities or attending community and other local college classes for audit and/or credit.
For more information about the different types of programs that are available and to see if there are opportunities near your home, please visit www.thinkcollege.net, an excellent website for information about current programs that includes a searchable database and information geared toward students, parents, and professionals. This website has resources specifically for students, parents and professionals, which answer questions each particular group might have.
If you or someone you know is interested in pursuing postsecondary education, the earlier you start to do research and plan, the more likely you and your family will be to find a situation that works best for your wishes and needs.
Check out the Postsecondary Education Resource List and the Joshua O'Neill Zeshan Tabani Enrichment Fund for additional resources.
