Adults with Disabilities

The School of Continuing Education's (SCE) *IMPACT Program provides education for adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) and other developmental disabilities (DD). A comprehensive curriculum is under development to prepare students for employment, living independently, participating in college life, and becoming more independent in the community.  The College campus and surrounding community provide a rich environment for instruction and skill development. IMPACT enables students with ID/DD to attend college and maximize their potential for integration into the mainstream of society.

* (Independent living skills, Mobility training, Physical health and well-being, Advocacy for self, College career and job readiness skills, and Technology training)

Purpose:

• To provide a coordinated instructional program designed to help students develop their social, personal, academic, vocational, and independent living skills.
• To provide an inclusive, structured environment that enables individuals with ID/DD to develop and manage appropriate patterns of behavior within a social and vocational context.
• To develop a person-centered educational and vocational plan by assessing the interests, needs, and capabilities of each participant.
