Inclusive Post-secondary Education
Inclusive Post-Secondary Education (IPSE) provides an opportunity for adults with developmental disabilities to realize an authentic University experience, from both an academic and a social perspective, over a 4-5 year period.
Students audit classes within their chosen academic themes, while our Educational Facilitators modify the related curriculum, in order to provide personalized, life-applicable learning. Throughout this process, our Educational Facilitators also liaise with professors, and assist students in accessing every aspect of University life. We embrace a flexible, collaborative, dynamic, diverse working environment.
We strive to be pioneers in the field of inclusive post-secondary education, Because everyone has the right to an education.
