Institute Brief: Making Experiential Education Accessible For Students With Disabilities, Cynthia Zafft, Sara Sezun, Melanie Jordan
The Institute Brief Series, Institute for Community Inclusion

Experiential education-- mentoring, internships, job shadowing, and so on-- can create a bridge to graduation and employment.

This tip sheet is based on the experiences of students with disabilities in public schools and their families.
