The SF State Inclusion Pilot Project facilitates authentic academic and social inclusion of students with intellectual and developmental disabilities in academic courses and campus life. Our goal is to make a college education—and the opportunities it provides for academic growth, socialization, independence, and career development—accessible to everyone.
Inclusion students are supported to develop an individualized course plan aligned with their personal, academic, and career goals. The individualized plan typically includes courses, social, and career-related activities. Undergraduate peer mentors play a main role in supporting inclusion students to direct their college experiences by leveraging each other's interests and strengths. Peer mentors attend courses alongside inclusion students and coordinate weekly tutoring sessions. In addition, peer mentors closely communicate with college instructors and receive ongoing support from the project coordinators.
Inclusion students receive a certificate of completion detailing their academic, social, and career accomplishments as laid out in their individualized plans. The project facilitates a network of natural and professional supports through close interagency collaboration.
