Think College

For many years, students with intellectual disability did not get the chance to go to college. They left high school, often remaining unemployed and socially isolated.

But there are more opportunities than ever today for people with intellectual disability, thanks to programs like Think College!

Think College is a non-profit dedicated to developing, expanding, and improving inclusive higher education options for people with intellectual disability. Think College helps people with intellectual disability enroll in inclusive schools and provides them with the support they need to succeed. Educational resources are available for families and professionals who seek to learn more about existing college options and how to develop new ones.
