The Power to Spring Up shows that postsecondary learning is both possible and rewarding for students with significant disabilities (autism, Down Syndrome, and other intellectual disabilities). Just as it does for their typically developing peers, more education leads to better job opportunities, greater independence- a more interesting life! This guide profiles the many different types of postsecondary options available, ranging from a modified academic program on a university campus, to a vocational residential program designed specifically for students with special needs.
