The Supporting Inclusive Practices in Colleges Program (SIP-C) advises, supports, and empowers individuals with intellectual disabilities to participate and thrive in higher education experiences. We work closely with college campuses in northern Arizona through dedicated campus coordinators who assist students and their families to “set the bar high” for success. Educational coaches and peer mentors advise students at every stage beginning with enrolling in and funding college, pursuing appropriate and necessary on-campus services and resources, and transitioning from college to gainful employment and independent living. Our goal is to foster an atmosphere of inclusion, as such, support is individualized and and delivered to each student on a one-to-one basis. Students are also invited to attend on-campus events and participate in student clubs alongside their peer mentors and other SIP-C students. We partner with on-campus resources, such as Disability Resources and TRIO, to ensure students can access and receive direct support. We are able to assist students attending, or interested in attending, the following colleges/universities: Northern Arizona University, Mohave Community College, Northland Pioneer College, Navajo Technical University, Diné College, and Arizona Western College.
