The P721Q CUNY Unlimited Queens College Inclusion Program services alternately assessed students 18-21 who are part of the Department of Education. Students partake in all aspects of campus life including participating in college courses and various clubs. Career exploration, vocational training, life skills development, and socialization are taught to prepare students for adult life. Students participate in a myriad of internships to support post-secondary goals. Our program utilizes person-centered planning to ensure that students receive an experience that is both challenging and fun! Instruction is IEP-driven and students with mandated services continue to receive those services while enrolled in the program. Application only. Not borough specific.
