Abstract
Inclusion matters and IPSE programs are examples of that. Inclusive Post-Secondary Education Programs or IPSE are college programs that offer opportunities for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to attend and receive a certificate at the university level. This session is intended to provide K-12 educators with an overview of IPSE programs within Georgia while focusing on Georgia Southern's EAGLE Academy. We will share student stories and ways you can advocate for your students and their families.
