We believe all people benefit from inclusive environments.  Nationally, there is a growing interest in postsecondary education for individuals with intellectual disability (ID) as a way to improve employment and other key life areas.  Life long learning promotes academic, professional, and personal development for all people and individuals who participate in postsecondary education have better overall outcomes.  

Data from the national vocational rehabilitation database show that youth with ID who participated in postsecondary education were 26% more likely to leave vocational rehabilitation services with a paid job and earn 73% more higher weekly income. 

We encourage you to browse all sections of our site--you will find helpful resources not only in the section that fits your particular role but in every section.

The PoSEC vision is for people with intellectual differences to realize their dream of participating in postsecondary education, being provided the supports needed to be successful both academically and socially.

To promote post-secondary education for people with intellectual disabilities.

PoSEC will become a leading resource for students with intellectual disabilities seeking college experience, for their circles of support, and for the people serving them.
