To create fully inclusive college opportunities in Colorado for students with intellectual disabilities to foster academic growth, social development and career advancement.
IN! Pathways to Inclusive Higher Education has a Vision that students with intellectual disabilities will be welcomed on college campuses and allowed to continue their education and preparation for life, as inclusive pathways become part of the fabric of all colleges and universities throughout Colorado.
Historically, society's low expectations coupled with limited opportunities have prevented people with ID from the benefits associated with a higher education. Students with ID transition from high school to adult day programs, very low paying jobs or, in too many cases, simply end up sitting idly at home with limited social outlets. Many individuals live below the poverty line, and have little prospect of rising above it.
Providing access to college is a paradigm shift with life-changing results for individuals with ID. Through the work of IN!, students with intellectual disabilities are on Colorado campuses at UNC, UCCS, ACC, and Regis. In the past year, IN! announced expansion to CSU and MSU Denver. We're INvested in ensuring college access continues to be possible for every student with ID in Colorado.
