Abstract
College options for students with intellectual disabilities continue to grow. However, there is a gap among students and families about available college opportunities. This study provides evidence of a weeklong summer academy that bridges the gap between high school and college. Results showed the summer academy increased participants' awareness of college. Researchers provide an analysis of student perceptions of the benefits of college and the social aspects of college.
