Transition to College
The Transition to College website, sponsored by the Postsecondary Education Research Center (PERC), is a source of information for those developing, implementing, and improving programs to support post-secondary opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities. The program development module helps to create a clear vision of a program mission and goals, and strategies to communicate those goals to partners.
