Think College VT @UVM/CDCI

Join Think College VT, as we pledge to eliminate the demeaning use of the R-word. The first Wednesday of every March is annual day of activation; take the pledge and "Spread the Word to End the Word."

What is Think College Vermont @UVM/CDCI?

Think College Vermont @ UVM/CDCI is a small, innovative, inclusive, academic, social, and vocational program for students with intellectual disabilities seeking a college experience. Participants may earn a 9-18 credit-hour certificate of professional studies for non-matriculated students designed to include:

• Academic Enrichment
• Socialization
• Independent Living Skills (including self-advocacy)
• Integrated Work Experiences & Career Skills

Think College Vermont @ UVM/CDCI incorporates student-centered planning, academic advising, and peer mentors for an inclusive, supportive college experience. Think College Vermont is a one to two-year non-degree certificate program through the UVM Continuing Education department and the UVM Center on Disability and Community Inclusion; thus, it is a tuition and fee-based program based on eligibility criteria and offered within the bounds of reasonable accommodation at the university. A small cohort of five students was admitted over the course of the 2011-2012 academic year; no more than five to seven students will be enrolled in our program at any given time.

Johnson State College (JSC), in Johnson, VT, was also sub-awarded a portion of our grant. A small cohort of two students was admitted to JSC in Fall 2011, and their program is rapidly explanding. Contact Dr. Perry LaRoque with any questions regarding Think College Vermont @JSC.
