Abstract

This project seeks to fill a void in college and career readiness resources for students with intellectual disabilities. The Massachusetts College and Career Readiness (CCR) MyCAP template, recommendations from ASCA, MASCA, DESE, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) will be referenced to create an adapted curriculum. The project is driven by the need for such a resource in an urban middle school. Currently, the school offers general education students CCR lessons, but no such curriculum is available for students with intellectual disabilities. The final project includes recommended instructional lessons in the three CCR domains: personal/social, career development and education, and academic college and career planning. These lessons are sequenced, meet instructional needs of the students, and provide opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities to explore careers and postsecondary plans.
