WSU ROAR provides individualized programs of study in education, employment, social skills, and independent living through person-centered planning. WSU ROAR is an employment, academic, and independent living focused program, and we work to provide individualized services that are consistent with each student’s preferences, interests, strengths, and needs so that they can prepare for and engage in competitive integrated employment and achieve economic self-sufficiency after program completion. WSU ROAR students live communally on the Pullman, WA campus, attend individualized programming, and complete WSU audit courses with same-aged peers. WSU ROAR welcomes young adults with I/DD to be part of the Cougar family experience. Upon completion of the program, WSU ROAR students earn a college-recognized certificate of completion. WSU ROAR is a U.S. Department of Education Transition Program for Students with Intellectual and Developmental (TPSID) program and an approved Comprehensive Transition Program (U.S. Department of Education).
