Embracing Dignity of Risk in Inclusive Postsecondary Education Programs

Embracing Dignity of Risk in Inclusive Postsecondary Education Programs

College students in general have an immense amount of freedom to take emotional, physical, and intellectual risks. Presenters discussed the access to Dignity of Risk that students with intellectual disability should have when in college. The presenters advocated for increased dignity of risk, a model of dignity of risk in IPSE programming, and five principles that might guide programs as they consider and assess risk.

This recorded presentation is a great resource for anyone considering issues of risk and safety on a college campus, particularly for those students living on campus. The presenters include a very helpful "hyperdoc" with links to over a dozen related resources. 

Presenters include Jennifer Bumble, University of Kansas along with Jonathan Lidgus, University of Missouri St. Louis.
