SIP-C supports individuals with intellectual disabilities who are interested in pursuing an
advanced degree, certification, or credential in any field. It is one of the only programs in the
state of Arizona providing transition services to students with disabilities. Its team engages
directly with college-bound students to foster an atmosphere of inclusion. Students are
matched with educational coaches to create individualized transition plans, while they are
also matched with peer mentors to better learn and engage with their non-disabled peers
in inclusive academic and social settings.

To achieve its goals, SIP-C provides services and supports to students between the ages of 18-28 attending school at one of our partnered sites: Northern Arizona University, Coconino Community College, Mohave Community College, Northland Pioneer College, and Arizona
Western College.
