Applying the principles of inclusion and self-determination, the Support Inclusive Practices in Colleges (SIP-C) program promotes quality, inclusive postsecondary services and supports within colleges and universities in Arizona, resulting in improved employment and independent living outcomes for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
The SIP-C project is designed to be a sustainable, comprehensive transition model that supports eligible students, between the ages of 16-26, with intellectual disabilities to participate within and complete a program of study, that:
- integrates Person-Centered Planning in the development of a highly personalized and specific plan for a course of study as self-determined by the student;
- provides individualized supports and services for the academic and social inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities in classroom environments (traditional and online), extracurricular activities, and other aspects of postsecondary education;
- offers opportunities for academic enrichment, socialization, increased independent living skills, including self-advocacy, integrated work experiences and the refinement of career skills which leads to gainful employment.
SIP-C is currenly accepting applications for students to start in the Spring Semester 2021.
