Webinar Date: May 14, 2024   |   Time: 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm ET

 

 

In May, the Administration on Disabilities (AoD) Disability Employment Technical Assistance Center (DETAC) May 2024 National Community of Practice (CoP) Webinar featured presenters from Think College, Alabama A&M University, and Arkansas State University. Presenters provided a roadmap for developing, maintaining, and expanding post-secondary education (PSE) programs for students with intellectual disabilities at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

 

The webinar reviewed key elements in three segments:

 

  • Review national trends in PSE programs for students with intellectual disabilities at HBCUs.
  • Provide an overview of the Southeast Postsecondary Education Alliance (SEPSEA) HBCU Committee.
  • Discuss how the first program in the nation at an HBCU was established, including an overview of program structure, partners involved and employment outcomes for students with intellectual disabilities.
