The Massachusetts Inclusive Concurrent Enrollment Initiative (MAICEI) at Massasoit Community College is a program designed for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities that enables them to acquire a college experience. It is a unique partnership between colleges and high schools, funded via Massachusetts legislative grants and monitored by the Department of Higher Education. The goals of the program are to provide inclusive opportunities and access to post-secondary education for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities from partner school districts to provide students with an opportunity to enroll in courses, alongside non-disabled peers, that align with their transition goals, to increase social skills and social opportunities through access of all campus clubs and activities, to develop work skills to improve employment opportunities and outcomes for individuals with a disability, to establish linkages with adult service agencies for attainment of transition goals, to increase self-determination and self-advocacy skills, to increase personal independence in academic, personal, social, and employment arenas, to improve student’s skills in the areas of scheduling, organization, and personal responsibility and to provide a unique and invaluable opportunity for personal growth for transition to adulthood..
