Abstract
The National Coordinating Center (NCC) at Think College, funded by the Office of Postsecondary Education, US Department of Education, provides support, coordination, training, and evaluation for Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) model demonstration project grantees. These TPSID grantees were tasked with creating, expanding, or enhancing high-quality, inclusive postsecondary education (PSE) programs to support positive outcomes for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) (e.g., educational attainment, employment, and community inclusion). The NCC has collected data on student demographics, experiences, and outcomes as well as TPSID program attributes, including partnerships with external organizations such as vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies.
