Preparation for and Support of Youth with Cognitive Disabilities in Postsecondary Education

The focuses were three: first, the students and what college attendance means to them; second, the professors and what they have done to assist the students in being successful; and finally, the families and their hopes and goals for their student in postsecondary education.
