Improving Inclusive Higher Ed: Students with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities at Stanford?

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course is designed to deepen knowledge related to including individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), including Down syndrome (DS), in college settings and to research aspects of successful post-secondary programs. This quarter, we will be focusing in on effective mentorship models to support students with IDD in inclusive higher education programs. A group of young adults with IDD will join us in the class to co-design our mentorship model with us. We will conclude the quarter with a mentorship model for our upcoming program.
