Students with Developmental Disabilities
Supported Higher Education Project (SHEP)

College can be the next step after high school for many students, and those with intellectual disabilities should be no different. Being on campus is about more than just going to class. It means developing new friendships, trying new experiences, and learning self-advocacy, problem-solving and independence. The SHEP program allows these students to access all that a college campus has to offer.
