For College Coordinators
Public colleges and universities in Massachusetts must be prepared to accept students with intellectual disability, severe autism, and severe developmental disabilities supported by their school district or adult serving agency. Students attend courses selected through a person-centered planning approach that meets their goals and preferences to participate in campus life, including any campus activity of interest to the student.
