Frontiers of Inclusive Practice: Integrated Studies at Millersville University

The college or university years for any young person is a powerful time of seasoning, maturation, growth, and networking, serving as a bridge to a successful career and productive life. Across the world, students with intellectual and developmental disabilities have been excluded from higher education and often from mainstream, typical schools. Dr. Thomas Neuville will discuss the program’s founding, successful inclusive education principles, adapting materials, credentials, testing, overcoming faculty resistance, and working with students and families. In this interactive and informative session, Dr. Neuville will discuss his lifelong work toward inclusion and careers for people with developmental disabilities and his creation and launch of what is no doubt the most inclusive university program welcoming students with disabilities on campus in every aspect of university life – dormitory living, campus social life, academics, and even campus work experiences.
