Welcome to Massachusetts Inclusive Postsecondary Education

The Massachusetts Department of Higher Education oversees grants and state funds for partnerships between public institutions of higher education, school districts, and adult service disability agencies to support inclusive postsecondary education. The purpose of these inclusive postsecondary education opportunities is to increase academic and career success for persons who are 18 and older and have a severe intellectual disability, severe autism spectrum disorder, or other severe developmental disability.
