There are over 300 programs in the United States that offer a non-degree program for students with intellectual disability, located at public and private, 4 year and 2 year colleges and universities, as well as a few located at technical colleges. Program length ranges from one year to four year and some include a 'fifth' year opportunity. The number of students in the programs varies as well. Some programs are focused on a general certificate and others have a more specific career focus certificate. Some provide residential living for students with intellectual disability in the campus dorms, though many offer only commuter opportunities.

Other ways that the programs can vary: some serve students who are over 18 but still in high school for the ages of 18 to 21 (these are called "dual enrollment" or "concurrent enrollment" programs). Others serve students who have left high school. Programs also offer varying degrees of participation in regular college classes with students without disabilities. They may be fully inclusive, meaning that all academics, social events, and independent living support happens with students without disabilities. Other programs offer a more separate experience, where students may be on a college campus, but participate in some or most classes and experiences only with other students with intellectual disability.

At this time, the most common approach is a mix of both separate and inclusive experiences. In our College Search listing, we ask programs to estimate how much time is spent with students without disabilities so that you can get some idea of type of experience that program is offering.

Many of these non-degree programs offer an individualized approach by supporting each student to select courses most closely related to their specific career goals. There are a growing number of programs that offer workforce credentials, but the majority are offering a general certificate that can be tailored to the student's goals. Check in with the program director and ask for a handbook, program curriculum, or program of study to see the details for programs you are interested in.

Start by reviewing program details in College Search. You can save a list of favorites that are the type of campus you like, in the parts of the country you are interested in and use a downloadable list to compare them to one another.

Once you have a list of solid possibilities, visit the programs' websites for more details. You may want to contact the program to ask questions or to schedule a campus visit. Many programs offer online and in-person Open Houses that can be a great way to learn more.

You can use our How To Guide on Conducting a College Search and/or the Self-Advocates Guide to Selecting a College to help decide what questions to ask when you talk to the program staff and review information on their websites.

This can all be a little (or a lot!) overwhelming. Feel free to contact us at ThinkCollegeTA@gmail.com if you need more information or help deciding on the best fit.

The admission process for these non-degree programs will be different than that of degree-seeking students.

Students DON'T NEED a standard high school diploma. An IEP diploma, certificate of attendance or other alternative diplomas are accepted for admission into college programs for students with intellectual disability. There are also some programs that support students while they are still in high school. Also, standardlzed test scores such as from ACT or SAT will not be required.

What the student WILL need is documentation of intellectual disability, and information that describes their strengths and their support needs. Some sort of documentation is required because there is a different admission process for students with intellectual disability, as well as special access to federal financial aid.

Other than these important considerations, there will be a variety of other requirements that can differ from program to program. Some typical requirements include a desire to go to college and to work after college, as well as some basic skills like ability to spend some time alone, manage their own medication, and use a cell phone. Also common is to see an age range of 18-26, but not all programs have an upper age limit.

The expectation of inclusive postsecondary education for students with intellectual disability was clearly identified in the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008 when it stated that students with intellectual disability must enroll in and/or participate in regular college courses with their non-disabled peers. The most inclusive programs offer students opportunities to take college courses from the course catalog, and they offer support to the students to participate in those classes. Students may participate in these classes as an audit student, or they may take them for credit.

The level of participation in the assignments and readings will depend upon whether the student is taking courses for credit or audit. Students taking the course for credit, are responsible for all required assignments and tests with only accommodations (no change to the course content or learning expectations), to pass the course. Those students who audit the course may receive modifications to the amount of content they are expected to learn and may have reductions in the amount and types of assignments and tests for which they are responsible.

This is a really important question to ask when you're looking at a program: How many of the college courses are actually available for the students to take?

When students participate in college courses, they often do that through an audit status. This means that college credits are not awarded. Students who are auditing a class can participate in all class activities, including taking tests or writing papers, to the best of their ability and with supports. Typically, the audited course has a procedure for grading and counts towards earning the credential that the program offers.
If the student does take the course for college credit, then they must meet the same standards as everyone else in the class. This includes papers, tests, and all other course requirements. All students are eligible for what is known as "reasonable accommodations" that do not modify course assignments. For example, a student with intellectual disability might ask for extended time to take a test, or to use assistive technology to help them write a paper.

When exploring colleges, a good question to ask the program directors is, "Will my student take their college courses for credit or audit and how will they be graded?

A student's reading level isn't the most important concern as they prepare for college, but rather their knowledge of and ability to use their compensatory strategies and electronic devices. Though any student's compensatory strategies would include digital and internet accessible devices, they would also include decision-and choice-making skills, and the ability to schedule activities, homework, and events, follow their schedule, and advocate for their support needs.

Device savvy: Students should be using their phones, tablets, and computers in school to read their text aloud, summarize sections, find their assignments, record homework, take notes, create homework schedules, keep track of schedules and connect with teachers and other students for homework or study help. Students should also be able to create Word and PowerPoint documents, file them in their computer, and find the documents when needed to study from or turn in.

Decision-making: The most noticeable difference is that college students are expected to manage their own learning and make choices and decisions more independently than in high school. Students should be developing these skills in high school: organizational skills for homework and studying, personal routines and schedules to carve out homework and study times, and strategies for keeping track of time and being on time.

Scheduling and keeping to a schedule are crucial skills for college students. No one else is going to wake them in the morning to get to class or turn in their homework on time. They will have to make choices when there are conflicting activities on the schedule and be able to modify their choices.

Self-advocacy is another skill students can and should be utilizing in high school. Students need to be able to recognize when they need help and who to ask. It is up to the student to email their professor and schedule office hours if they don't understand something or know when an assignment is due.

Many programs offer residential opportunities. You can find them in Think College Search using the search term "housing." Sometimes those residential options are in dormitories and on-campus apartments. Some programs offer off-campus housing. It's not directly affiliated with the college, but it's very close to campus.

Many more programs for students with intellectual disability are attended by those students who live at home and commute to school than those who live on or near campus. About 1/3 of the programs across the country have a residential option for students with intellectual disability. Some programs require students to live on campus and some allow students to choose to be a commuter or residential student.

Residential programs vary in terms of the levels and types of supports provided in campus housing. Some have a resident assistant (RA), the same support available to any residential student. Some programs provide an additional support person through the program, though often for limited hours. Few programs provide support to wake the student up in the morning to go to class or tell them when to turn the game or show off and go to bed. Those responsibilities generally belong to the student.

This is another area of questioning you will want to direct to the program director at each college you are exploring. "What type of 'housing' support is available to the students? How will they know who is supporting them? How will they contact them? Is there after-hours support?"

This is something that's so important in the life of any college student, and where much of our learning and growing takes place. Most, if not all, college programs will support many opportunities for students with intellectual disability to participate in those kinds of activities. There is a focus on supporting students to join clubs, use the gym, hang out in the student union, attend athletic events, and so on.

Every program puts in place supports and strategies in the event a student needs help. Many programs begin each semester orienting students to the location of their new courses, the clinic, and 'help phone' boxes on campus. Some begin the semester with peers who walk the students with intellectual disability to class for the first week or two. Many programs use a social media app like 'group me' to stay in touch with their students.

It is a good idea to plan ahead and check out the campus when you visit, prior to enrolling in the program, and look for strategically placed emergency phones on campus and ask about whether the institution has campus police.

Ultimately, it is up to the student to identify when they are in a situation that they need help and then how to access that help.

As with many students who find themselves going away to college and now "free" from their parents, there are lessons to be learned about their structured and unstructured time, about staying up too late when a required early event or class is scheduled the next day.

Program staff will support students with ID to identify their interests and find an organization, club, or event that, if joined, would begin to structure some free time. Some programs require students to join a club and attend a certain number of activities as well as attend required tutoring, career services workshops, and volunteer or work a specified number of hours. However, there is always some unstructured free time when attending college and learning how to explore and engage in activities of interest is a crucial skill to learn.

Essentially, each student is responsible to explore opportunities on the campus and to make choices in how to spend his or her own time when not in class. There are generally a few popular places students gather to do homework, like the student union or library. They may hang out with friends at the campus cafe, play video games, visit the campus gym or recreation center and join an exercise or nutrition class, go to a convenience store, or go to their room and take a nap.

Support for college varies tremendously by state, but there are state, local, and federal options to be explored. The Paying for College section on the Think College website includes a number of resources and links to explore.

A TPSID is a federally funded model demonstration grant project. These college programs have received a 5 year federal grant to create and/or further develop their program. TPSID stands for Transition and Postsecondary Education Program for Students with Intellectual Disability.

A CTP refers to a college program that has been approved through a process created by the US Department of Education. The CTP, or comprehensive transition program approval means that students with intellectual disability attending those programs are eligible for federal student aid.

IPSE stands for inclusive postsecondary education and is sometimes used to refer to college programs for students with intellectual disability.

Yes, there are a variety of different summer program options offered by college programs. Some are to prepare students who have been accepted into the program for the upcoming Fall, and there are also many that are for any student who wished to experience a bit of college life. Some are residential, some are during the day only, and they vary in length. To see a listing of summer programs Think College has compiled from info provided to them by the programs, review this Excel spreadsheet.

What People Say

"College Connect is an amazing support system to my child. I have seen a significant change in her independent organizational and social skills and she looks forward to participating in the program daily. Her awareness and understanding of college life has also flourished and therefore her self-esteem and confidence has elevated. She speaks highly of everyone she comes in contact with and feels supported and safe. As a working parent, these things give me peace of mind. I am grateful for the program."

CCS SAR Updates

The Integrated Systems of Care Division (ISCD) has updated our process for the Service Authorization Request (SAR) adjudication process. The new process aims to streamline communications with counties and improve internal routing. To support improved SAR adjudication, ISCD has:

Updated the SAR Cover Sheet to improve internal routing of SARs

Please note that the purpose of the new mailboxes is to:

Notify ISCD that additional documentation for a pending SAR has been entered to the CMS Net system

Follow-up on an expedited request

Bring to ISCD's attention any issue or concern regarding a SAR that shows a pending status after certain period of time (usually, more than 45 days)

Request review of a SAR

Request other services from ISCD

New SARs should be directed to the local County CCS office and not sent to the mailboxes listed below.

Email inboxes and the SAR Fax Sheet are as follows:

Why We're Here

Behavioral and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Ventura County

Overcoming life's considerable challenges or trying to help those you love to do so can leave anyone feeling overwhelmed and alone. We get it, and we also know that reaching out to others for help when you aren't completely convinced things can get better takes true courage and a bit of a leap of faith.

We're here because we know that if you surround people with those who believe in them wholeheartedly, and give them the tools they need to help themselves, everyone is capable of getting unstuck. So we bring families, schools, local agencies and caregivers together as a team, then collaborate on a plan that helps individuals gain confidence by achieving the goals they set for themselves.

Our entire team is committed to helping children, teens and adults to not only function well but to thrive independently at home, in school, at work, and in their communities. Thanks for visiting - and for making the leap.

Behaviors

At some point, all of us get stuck.

We can get caught in a tangle of negative thoughts and feelings without knowing why, then react in ways that can keep us from moving forward. You aren't the only one, you aren't alone. Here are some of the behavioral and thought disorders we can help untangle. Together.

Anger Management. Self Management. Self-Injurious Behavior. Tantrums. Bedwetting. Toileting. Anxiety Disorders. Obsessive Compulsive Disorders. Phobias. Inappropriate Sexual Behavior.

Services

Laurie Singer Behavioral Services specializes in behavioral and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Both therapies are based on strong scientific evidence and the understanding that our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are highly interdependent. If you create positive change in one of the three, the other two change for the better as well. CBT also helps individuals challenge the automatic negative thoughts and unproductive core beliefs that can continue to create tangles in life.

Be prepared to actively engage in learning and working toward developing new ways of thinking and behaving. We take a do-more-talk-less approach that helps children, teens and adults become (or rediscover) who they are meant to be, and to do so sooner rather than later. Read more about how we help individuals help themselves by clicking the Services button below.

What People Are Saying

Cami is very knowledgeable and takes on the burden of a process that can be overwhelming for someone who isn't familiar with the legal world. She helped us with a Conservatorship for our Intellectually Disabled daughter to a highly successful outcome.

Cami was a pleasure to work with. We were seeking conservatorship of my mentally disabled sister. With her help everything went very smooth she had all the paperwork filled out and filled on time and make the process very easy for my mother and me. Her knowledge of the process was fabulous and walked us through each step. I would highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again for any needs that would come up.

My daughter passed away 5 years ago,and I sought legal guardianship of my autistic grandson. At that time with the courts helped with the process.I recently sought conservatorship when he turned 18. It was a longer process than before with doctor and dental visits, meetings with several individuals from Tri Counties and they recommended Easy Legal with Cami Hershkovitz in Moorpark.

I've reviewed this business in the past, but YELP isn't displaying it tonight. Nonetheless, they recently incorporated my business for me. So professional and quick. Yesterday the delivered to me the kit and gave me easy to follow directions to convert to an S Corp. I literally need to sign my name twice and fax in a form, I think I can handle that. Thank you so much!!!

CONNIE H. Camarillo, CA

Cami is THE BEST. She's professional and does excellent work on doing any type of legal docs. She has done my Trust for me a second time, and she's wonderful, easy to work with and just wonderful. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs any legal work/docs drawn up. (Thank you, Cami, :)

Cami's interest in doing right and well by families seeking conservatorship is grounded in her own life's path as a special needs mother. Even when some medical issues arose for her while we were in the midst of our process, she found a way to get her work done on our behalf, amplifying what other reviewers have said about Cami's professionalism. And, as our financial life demands ways of finding experts whose prices are reasonable, I am happy to report that Cami's fees were just that and we did indeed receive expert service for a reasonable price.

Googy G. Newbury Park, CA

Cami is a great choice, I found her on Yelp and dropped by for a consultation and then used her to prepare my contract for me as well. Her prices are fair, and she is very quick to deliver just like needed. Thank you Cami I'll defiantly work with you again.

Evgene L. Los Angeles, CA

My family and I have used Cami 5 times now, and in each case her explanations of the legal process were correct. In each case she was able to draw on her vast experience to draw up the the appropriate papers for each individual complicated case. Thank you very much !!! Cami.

GUIDO D. Simi Valley, CA

Cami helped us for preparing documents for conservatorship. She is very knowledgeable regarding this matter. I highly recommend her legal services.

Use our system to help protect your loved ones!!

If you have a loved one who has Autism, Down Syndrome, Epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, or other issues with disorientation, they can get lost more easily and have more problems communicating to any bystanders that they need help. The If I Need Help system mitigates the risks to your loved one by bypassing communication barriers.

The If I Need Help system accomplishes this through several steps:

A free online membership

A profile for your loved one on our special needs registry

A confidential Emergency question and answer section that can be printed or emailed in an emergency

A QR-code enabled ID tag that can be worn or fastened to your loved one's clothing

When you or your loved one is discovered lost or needing help, any finder can notice the QR code tag, scan it, and instantly have access to the information you have chosen to include in your profile, including contact information, one's name and condition, and anything else relevant to an emergency.

Request a State-Funded ID Kit

We at If I Need Help are also vendors for California Regional Centers for Safety ID Kits. If you have a family member that is affected by a developmental disability, you may be able to request a state-funded kit through us. If you live in another state and would like us to reach out to your local agency please let us know and we will be glad to contact them.

CISS is a family-operated, private service organization committed to providing direct support to individuals and their dedicated caregivers/parents. We know how stressful life can be without support from friends and family. Likewise, all of us need a break from time to time to help us take care of our own needs and to refocus our own priorities, so that we can continue to be strong for those who need us.

Our committed team of caregivers specializes in providing support to a variety of families including those caring for people who have developmental disabilities (such as but not limited to Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and intellectual disabilities), Foster Parents and Kinship Caregivers of young children.

Inspiration for the organization was sparked during the summer of 2004 when co-founder, Sharon M. Francis, then Director of Community Development for Tri-Counties Regional Center, identified the unmet needs of children with developmental disabilities living in Ventura County with no local option for respite services. Until then, all agency respite services had been provided by home health agencies offering CNA, LVN, or RN services, or from large L.A.-based multi-service companies. Some of these agencies serve more than a dozen regional centers and more than 10,000 people. This was not the personalized care that local families deserved.

After seven years of service at TCRC, Sharon left and launched Channel Islands Social Services with her husband Tim, so that local families could have flexible, local respite options. Please call us so we can start getting to know and help you.

Sharon Francis, Co-Founder and CEO

Sharon began her career supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and their families in 1993. Prior to launching CISS, she spent four years helping adults with special needs in supported employment and seven years at Tri-Counties Regional Center managing and performing quality assurance and resource development. Sharon has been instrumental in the Ventura County community in various roles and nonprofit groups and she has been a CPR and First Aid instructor with the American Red Cross since 2005. She serves on the boards of Tri-Counties Association for the Developmentally Disabled (as the Vendor Advisory Rep.), and was a long-time board member of the Autism Society Ventura County and Partners in Housing. In 2015, she was recognized by the Autism Society of America as their Autism Professional of the Year

Tim Francis, Co-Founder and Director of Operations

Tim co-founded the organization in 2004 with his wife Sharon. His professional and educational background is in the film industry, having worked in post-production at various well-known entertainment companies. He serves as the safety officer, leads all marketing and advertising, and is the "go-to guy" for all behind-the-scenes needs of the company and staff. He has started work on various educational videos related to respite care and family support and has hopes of distributing them in the near future to inspire people to get involved.
To reach one of our amazing staff, please contact our office Receptionist at x0 who will direct you.

There are over 300 programs in the United States that offer a non-degree program for students with intellectual disability, located at public and private, 4 year and 2 year colleges and universities, as well as a few located at technical colleges. Program length ranges from one year to four year and some include a 'fifth' year opportunity. The number of students in the programs varies as well. Some programs are focused on a general certificate and others have a more specific career focus certificate. Some provide residential living for students with intellectual disability in the campus dorms, though many offer only commuter opportunities.

Other ways that the programs can vary: some serve students who are over 18 but still in high school for the ages of 18 to 21 (these are called "dual enrollment" or "concurrent enrollment" programs). Others serve students who have left high school. Programs also offer varying degrees of participation in regular college classes with students without disabilities. They may be fully inclusive, meaning that all academics, social events, and independent living support happens with students without disabilities. Other programs offer a more separate experience, where students may be on a college campus, but participate in some or most classes and experiences only with other students with intellectual disability.

At this time, the most common approach is a mix of both separate and inclusive experiences. In our College Search listing, we ask programs to estimate how much time is spent with students without disabilities so that you can get some idea of type of experience that program is offering.

Many of these non-degree programs offer an individualized approach by supporting each student to select courses most closely related to their specific career goals. There are a growing number of programs that offer workforce credentials, but the majority are offering a general certificate that can be tailored to the student's goals. Check in with the program director and ask for a handbook, program curriculum, or program of study to see the details for programs you are interested in.

Start by reviewing program details in College Search. You can save a list of favorites that are the type of campus you like, in the parts of the country you are interested in and use a downloadable list to compare them to one another.

Once you have a list of solid possibilities, visit the programs' websites for more details. You may want to contact the program to ask questions or to schedule a campus visit. Many programs offer online and in-person Open Houses that can be a great way to learn more.

You can use our How To Guide on Conducting a College Search and/or the Self-Advocates Guide to Selecting a College to help decide what questions to ask when you talk to the program staff and review information on their websites.

This can all be a little (or a lot!) overwhelming. Feel free to contact us at ThinkCollegeTA@gmail.com if you need more information or help deciding on the best fit.

The admission process for these non-degree programs will be different than that of degree-seeking students.

Students DON'T NEED a standard high school diploma. An IEP diploma, certificate of attendance or other alternative diplomas are accepted for admission into college programs for students with intellectual disability. There are also some programs that support students while they are still in high school. Also, standardlzed test scores such as from ACT or SAT will not be required.

What the student WILL need is documentation of intellectual disability, and information that describes their strengths and their support needs. Some sort of documentation is required because there is a different admission process for students with intellectual disability, as well as special access to federal financial aid.

Other than these important considerations, there will be a variety of other requirements that can differ from program to program. Some typical requirements include a desire to go to college and to work after college, as well as some basic skills like ability to spend some time alone, manage their own medication, and use a cell phone. Also common is to see an age range of 18-26, but not all programs have an upper age limit.

The expectation of inclusive postsecondary education for students with intellectual disability was clearly identified in the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008 when it stated that students with intellectual disability must enroll in and/or participate in regular college courses with their non-disabled peers. The most inclusive programs offer students opportunities to take college courses from the course catalog, and they offer support to the students to participate in those classes. Students may participate in these classes as an audit student, or they may take them for credit.

The level of participation in the assignments and readings will depend upon whether the student is taking courses for credit or audit. Students taking the course for credit, are responsible for all required assignments and tests with only accommodations (no change to the course content or learning expectations), to pass the course. Those students who audit the course may receive modifications to the amount of content they are expected to learn and may have reductions in the amount and types of assignments and tests for which they are responsible.

This is a really important question to ask when you're looking at a program: How many of the college courses are actually available for the students to take?

When students participate in college courses, they often do that through an audit status. This means that college credits are not awarded. Students who are auditing a class can participate in all class activities, including taking tests or writing papers, to the best of their ability and with supports. Typically, the audited course has a procedure for grading and counts towards earning the credential that the program offers.
If the student does take the course for college credit, then they must meet the same standards as everyone else in the class. This includes papers, tests, and all other course requirements. All students are eligible for what is known as "reasonable accommodations" that do not modify course assignments. For example, a student with intellectual disability might ask for extended time to take a test, or to use assistive technology to help them write a paper.

When exploring colleges, a good question to ask the program directors is, "Will my student take their college courses for credit or audit and how will they be graded?

A student's reading level isn't the most important concern as they prepare for college, but rather their knowledge of and ability to use their compensatory strategies and electronic devices. Though any student's compensatory strategies would include digital and internet accessible devices, they would also include decision-and choice-making skills, and the ability to schedule activities, homework, and events, follow their schedule, and advocate for their support needs.

Device savvy: Students should be using their phones, tablets, and computers in school to read their text aloud, summarize sections, find their assignments, record homework, take notes, create homework schedules, keep track of schedules and connect with teachers and other students for homework or study help. Students should also be able to create Word and PowerPoint documents, file them in their computer, and find the documents when needed to study from or turn in.

Decision-making: The most noticeable difference is that college students are expected to manage their own learning and make choices and decisions more independently than in high school. Students should be developing these skills in high school: organizational skills for homework and studying, personal routines and schedules to carve out homework and study times, and strategies for keeping track of time and being on time.

Scheduling and keeping to a schedule are crucial skills for college students. No one else is going to wake them in the morning to get to class or turn in their homework on time. They will have to make choices when there are conflicting activities on the schedule and be able to modify their choices.

Self-advocacy is another skill students can and should be utilizing in high school. Students need to be able to recognize when they need help and who to ask. It is up to the student to email their professor and schedule office hours if they don't understand something or know when an assignment is due.

Many programs offer residential opportunities. You can find them in Think College Search using the search term "housing." Sometimes those residential options are in dormitories and on-campus apartments. Some programs offer off-campus housing. It's not directly affiliated with the college, but it's very close to campus.

Many more programs for students with intellectual disability are attended by those students who live at home and commute to school than those who live on or near campus. About 1/3 of the programs across the country have a residential option for students with intellectual disability. Some programs require students to live on campus and some allow students to choose to be a commuter or residential student.

Residential programs vary in terms of the levels and types of supports provided in campus housing. Some have a resident assistant (RA), the same support available to any residential student. Some programs provide an additional support person through the program, though often for limited hours. Few programs provide support to wake the student up in the morning to go to class or tell them when to turn the game or show off and go to bed. Those responsibilities generally belong to the student.

This is another area of questioning you will want to direct to the program director at each college you are exploring. "What type of 'housing' support is available to the students? How will they know who is supporting them? How will they contact them? Is there after-hours support?"

This is something that's so important in the life of any college student, and where much of our learning and growing takes place. Most, if not all, college programs will support many opportunities for students with intellectual disability to participate in those kinds of activities. There is a focus on supporting students to join clubs, use the gym, hang out in the student union, attend athletic events, and so on.

Every program puts in place supports and strategies in the event a student needs help. Many programs begin each semester orienting students to the location of their new courses, the clinic, and 'help phone' boxes on campus. Some begin the semester with peers who walk the students with intellectual disability to class for the first week or two. Many programs use a social media app like 'group me' to stay in touch with their students.

It is a good idea to plan ahead and check out the campus when you visit, prior to enrolling in the program, and look for strategically placed emergency phones on campus and ask about whether the institution has campus police.

Ultimately, it is up to the student to identify when they are in a situation that they need help and then how to access that help.

As with many students who find themselves going away to college and now "free" from their parents, there are lessons to be learned about their structured and unstructured time, about staying up too late when a required early event or class is scheduled the next day.

Program staff will support students with ID to identify their interests and find an organization, club, or event that, if joined, would begin to structure some free time. Some programs require students to join a club and attend a certain number of activities as well as attend required tutoring, career services workshops, and volunteer or work a specified number of hours. However, there is always some unstructured free time when attending college and learning how to explore and engage in activities of interest is a crucial skill to learn.

Essentially, each student is responsible to explore opportunities on the campus and to make choices in how to spend his or her own time when not in class. There are generally a few popular places students gather to do homework, like the student union or library. They may hang out with friends at the campus cafe, play video games, visit the campus gym or recreation center and join an exercise or nutrition class, go to a convenience store, or go to their room and take a nap.

Support for college varies tremendously by state, but there are state, local, and federal options to be explored. The Paying for College section on the Think College website includes a number of resources and links to explore.

A TPSID is a federally funded model demonstration grant project. These college programs have received a 5 year federal grant to create and/or further develop their program. TPSID stands for Transition and Postsecondary Education Program for Students with Intellectual Disability.

A CTP refers to a college program that has been approved through a process created by the US Department of Education. The CTP, or comprehensive transition program approval means that students with intellectual disability attending those programs are eligible for federal student aid.

IPSE stands for inclusive postsecondary education and is sometimes used to refer to college programs for students with intellectual disability.

Yes, there are a variety of different summer program options offered by college programs. Some are to prepare students who have been accepted into the program for the upcoming Fall, and there are also many that are for any student who wished to experience a bit of college life. Some are residential, some are during the day only, and they vary in length. To see a listing of summer programs Think College has compiled from info provided to them by the programs, review this Excel spreadsheet.

The city of Taft has a colorful beginning. Legend has it that the Tilimniu Native American tribe used a substance they had to waterproof their boats and implements. This is what we now call petroleum. The first recorded oil strike was in 1901 and is now known as the Midway Sunset Oilfield and is the largest in the lower 48 and is the backbone to our community. We are home to most of the major oil producers in the world.
