Post Secondary Education for Students with Intellectual Disabilities

-CALL TO ACTION- from ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY CENTERS ON DISABILITIES

AUCD has issued an Action Alert regarding  postsecondary education for students with intellectual disabilities.  In 2008, Congress made an historic move and included the Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) and a National Coordinating Center for those programs in the Higher Education Opportunity Act.  The President's FY 2015 Budget proposes to end funding for these programs.  Please urge Congress to continue funding these promising programs!
