| Summary |
"Young adults with intellectual disability tell the story of their own experience of higher education. Offering a powerful challenge to assumptions that intellectual disability is best met with protection or segregation, Creating Our Own Lives is an important record of the first generation of students enrolled in inclusive higher education programs. It is also an unprecedented resource, packed with information and inspiration both for parents seeking opportunities for their children and for individuals with intellectual disability who aspire to attend college"-- Provided by publisher |
