About IPSEs

Inclusive Postsecondary Education

Inclusive postsecondary education refers to a holistic approach that ensures equitable access, meaningful participation, and successful outcomes for individuals of all abilities in higher education settings. It involves creating an environment where students with diverse backgrounds, including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, have the opportunity to engage in academic, social, and extracurricular activities alongside their peers. Inclusive postsecondary education promotes a culture of diversity, equity, and accessibility, fostering an enriching and supportive learning experience for every student, regardless of their unique needs or challenges.


Inclusive education programs promote a culture of life-long learning, encouraging individuals with intellectual disabilities to continue growing, adapting, and contributing to society throughout their lives.

Programming at inclusive postsecondary education programs is designed to provide a comprehensive and supportive learning experience for a diverse student body. These programs go beyond traditional academic offerings, incorporating a holistic approach that addresses the unique needs and strengths of each student. Inclusive postsecondary education programs typically feature a blend of specialized courses, individualized support services, and opportunities for social and extracurricular engagement. The curriculum often emphasizes skill development in areas such as academics, socialization, and independent living, preparing students for both academic success and a smooth transition into the workforce. Through a combination of person-centered planning, mentorship, and a commitment to fostering an inclusive community, these programs create an environment where students of all abilities can thrive and contribute meaningfully to their educational journey and beyond.
