Statewide Strategic Planning: Promoting Postsecondary Education Options for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities
In an effort to support the continued growth in postsecondary options across the country, Think College funded Statewide Strategic Planning grants to 18 University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs) in 18 states from 2010 to 2012. These $15,000 grants were funded by the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This brief provides guidance for others interested in embarking on a strategic planning process to increase PSE options. It synthesizes the experiences of the UCEDDs in Kansas, Illinois, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, all of which received Think College Statewide Strategic Planning grants in 2011.
