4 What is IDEAL? Igniting the Dream of Education and Access at Lipscomb (IDEAL) is a 2-year academic certificate program for young adults ages who have a documented intellectual and/or developmental disability (ID/DD) and who would be unable to enroll in college as a traditional student. What is the purpose? The IDEAL program has the ultimate goal of preparing individuals with ID/DD to work in a preferred job setting by strengthening independent social, communication, and vocational skills. Ideally, students will leave Lipscomb with a job in place and will be prepared to live and work as independently as possible. What does IDEAL look like? The program includes academic and skill-building courses, exercise sessions, internships, leisure time, and a daily study period. Students audit two academic general education classes per semester with traditional Lipscomb students based on their interests and career goals. The program director/faculty advisor works with university faculty to identify any necessary accommodations to the syllabi or course material. Students also enroll in two skill-building Special Topics courses and/or specially designed workshops per semester. These classes provide IDEAL students with independent living skills that help them to be better employees and prepare them to live on their own. Students are placed in on-campus internships during the first year and off-campus externships during the second year of the program. The students job interests and abilities are matched with available openings that align with the students career goals. Students are assigned student mentors to act as tutors and attend social events, exercise classes, and meals with the IDEAL students. What will this mean for you? The IDEAL program staff believes that integrating students who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities into existing classes and activities will have a positive influence on university climate. In addition, cooperation among faculty and staff to help IDEAL students reach their fullest potential will model appropriate servant-leadership for our students. As the IDEAL students will take advantage of the many resources that the university has to offer, you and/or your department may be asked to meet with the faculty advisor and program director to discuss necessary accommodations for these new students. Accommodations will occur with the support and/or direction of the IDEAL staff so as to not overburden faculty and staff.
5 Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is an intellectual disability? An intellectual disability, as defined by the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, is a disability characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning (IQ of 70 or lower) and in adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills. IDEAL students may present diagnoses such as Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, severe learning disabilities, and more. 2. What is the success rate for programs such as IDEAL? According to the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2, only 38.8% of young adults with disabilities secure paid employment outside of the home within 8 years of graduating high school 1. However, graduates of postsecondary programs similar to IDEAL have a much higher employment rate: between 71-84% of graduates have secured paid employment. In addition, a study completed by the Institute for Community Inclusion found that Youth who participated in postsecondary education earned a 73% higher weekly income than those who did not What sort of jobs will IDEAL students hold after completing the program? Graduates of similar programs hold jobs as diverse as the students themselves. Graduates of Vanderbilt s Next Steps program work at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, Best Buy, Corizon Healthcare, an early childhood education center, and the YMCA. 4. Students will need to be kept safe on campus. Is this possible? Like all other students on campus, students with ID/DD will attend an orientation where campus safety and the code of conduct are reviewed. Students will also receive individual safety instruction and will be required to carry a cell phone. 5. Will including students with ID/DD compete with, or overburden, the disability services office on campus? The IDEAL program will not replace or compete with existing disability services. Like other students with disabilities, these students are likely to request accommodations from disability services. Unlike other students, though, they will receive additional support, including educational tutors and student mentors. 6. Faculty members are not trained to teach students with these types of disabilities. Will faculty be burdened by adjusting their teaching? Faculty members are not expected to change their course expectations or teaching methods. However, all students benefit from courses designed and taught according to the principles of universal design. The program director and faculty advisor will work with university faculty to create individual learning plans that will identify any necessary accommodations to the syllabi or course material. 7. What will the other college students think about having students with ID/DD on their campus? Most college students without disabilities are either neutral or positive about having classmates with ID/DD. This generation of students has experienced inclusive education and community participation by people with disabilities throughout their lives. 1 Newman, Wagner. Knokey, Marder, et al, (2011).

10 Schedule Descriptions 1. Lipscomb classes (Intro to Psych; History of Graphic Design): One course each semester that is aligned with the student s area of career interest, and one course each semester that is an academic core course. 2. IDEAL classes: See attached list of course objectives which demonstrate the employment-related skills covered. 3. Library time: Students practice basic computer skills using Word, Powerpoint, the internet and Google apps (mail, calendar, docs, drive). 4. Study blocks: Students work with peers to complete assignments for class, strengthening their skills in work tolerance, critical thinking, staying on task, work speed and writing. 5. Planning/Organizing block: Students work with peers to strengthen executive functioning skills, such as how to break down tasks into smaller tasks, prioritization, organization, time management, pre-planning and more. 6. Internship: Students work for a minimum of 5 hours per week at an internship site on or off campus, reporting to a departmental supervisor. Students learn new tasks, such as inventory, filing, budget coding, and scanning, while strengthening skills such as supervisor and co-worker relations, time management, work speed, work tolerance, and conflict management. 7. SAC: Students work with peers to cultivate health through scheduled exercise. Students develop increased strength and better mobility leading to fewer days missed due to illness and injury. 8. Lunch and Chapel: Students work with peers to strengthen communication and social skills. Peer students model age- and socially-appropriate behavior, and hold IDEAL students accountable for their words and actions. 9. Workshops: Students received targeted instruction and practice in relevant topics related specifically to employment-related social skils and job readiness skills.
