Postsecondary Education for Students with Intellectual Disability Meg Grigal, Maria Paiewonsky, Debra Hart

Higher education has been linked to improved employment, lifetime income, job satisfaction, and civic engagement for people regardless of age, race, or gender (Baum, Ma, & Payea, 2013). While enrollment in higher education continues to rise (NCES, 2015), the number of students with disability enrolled in postsecondary education has been difficult to confirm with accuracy (Leake, 2015). However, almost all public two-year and four-year institutions report enrolling students with disabilities (Raue & Lewis, 2011).
