The Bulldog L.I.F.E. (Learning Independence, Fostering Education and Employment) Program objective is to educate and provide information to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their family members, and others to increase leadership opportunities and inclusive participation in their communities' activities. The College Campus Transition Program (CCTP) is administered by the Alabama A&M Rehabilitation Counseling Program. Students with intellectual disabilities have an opportunitiy to interact with their peers in a college and community environment while training for employment options that offer a living wage upon exiting the program and transitioning into adult independence. The program is designed to help students with disabilities who exit high school with a special education diploma find independence and become equipped with realistic transferable work skills to prepare them for life after graduation.
