Mission and programs · 2022

• IN SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF INCLUSIVE HIGHER EDUCATION PATHWAYS FOR STUDENTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES IN COLORADO. PRIOR TO IN'S INCEPTION, COLLEGE PATHWAYS WERE NOT AN OPTION FOR STUDENTS WITH ID IN COLORADO. TODAY THERE ARE THREE PATHWAYS: ELEVATE - ARAPAHOE COMMUNITY COLLEGE, GOAL - UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN COLORADO AND THE OFFICE OF INCLUSIVE SERVICES AT UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO - COLORADO SPRINGS. CURRENTLY, STATEWIDE THERE ARE OVER 80 STUDENTS ENROLLED ACROSS THE PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON 4 AREAS: ACADEMIC GROWTH, SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT, INDEPENDENCE, AND CAREER ADVANCEMENT. THROUGH 2022 THERE HAVE BEEN 32 GRADUATES EARNING A COMPREHENSIVE HIGHER EDUCATION CERTIFICATE WITH A FOCUS IN A VARIETY OF FIELDS SUCH AS HEALTHCARE, COMMUNICATIONS, PHOTOJOURNALISM, EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION, HUMAN SERVICES AND ADVOCACY. IN 2021, IN COMPLETED A STATEWIDE NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO DETERMINE BARRIERS FACED BY RESIDENTS OF COLORADO IN ACCESSING HIGHER EDUCATION. SPECIFIC ASSESSMENTS WERE COMPLETED TO IDENTIFY BARRIERS TO STUDENTS OF COLOR, VARYING SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS AND THOSE WITHIN RURAL COMMUNITIES. AS A RESULT OF THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT, IN WORKED WITH THE STATE TO PASS LEGISLATION GIVING FUNDING AND SUPPORT TO EXPAND PATHWAYS IN COLORADO. THE LEGISLATION WILL ALLOW IN, IN 2023 TO DEVELOP A GRANT PROGRAM FOR COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE STATE TO APPLY FOR THE CRITICAL FUNDS NEEDED TO ESTABLISH INCLUSIVE HIGHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS. IN CONTINUES TO BE COMMITTED TO EXPANSION ALONG WITH STATEWIDE EDUCATION AND OUTREACH.
