The Higher Education Act as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) contained several provisions to increase access to higher education for youth and adults with intellectual disability. One outcome of these provisions was the appropriation of funds by Congress to create a model demonstration program aimed at developing and expanding inclusive higher education options for people with intellectual disability. The Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disability (TPSID) model demonstration program was first implemented by the Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) in 2010 through 5-year grants awarded to 27 institutes of higher education (colleges/universities). Grants were awarded again in 2015 to a second cohort of 25 colleges/universities to develop or enhance TPSID programs between 2015 and 2020. In 2020, grants were awarded to a third cohort of 22 colleges/universities. These colleges/universities were tasked with creating, expanding, or enhancing high-quality, inclusive higher education experiences to support positive outcomes for individuals with intellectual disability. The HEOA also authorized the establishment of a national coordinating center for the TPSID programs to support coordination, training, and evaluation. This National Coordinating Center (NCC) was awarded to Think College at the Institute for Community Inclusion, University of Massachusetts Boston. One requirement of the NCC is to conduct an evaluation of the TPSID projects and provide technical assistance and training to colleges and universities, K-12 local education agencies (LEAs), families, students, and others interested in developing, expanding, or improving inclusive higher education for people with intellectual disability in the United States. This report provides an overview of the descriptive program and student-level data provided by Cohort 3 TPSIDs during the 2023-2024 academic year. Program data include program characteristics, academic access, student support, and integration of the program within the college/university during the fourth year of 2020-2025 funding. Student data include student demographics, course enrollments, employment activities, and engagement in student life. This report also includes information on the strategic partnerships and financial sustainability of TPSID programs.
