What is Show Me College?

A central resource for Missourians (and others) to explore higher education options for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities after high school.

Show Me College aims to spread awareness that college is possible for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The Show Me College website offers resources for students, family members, educators, and counselors to help prepare youth for college.

The Show Me College project aims for all students with IDD, their families, teachers, and counselors to know that college is an important option.

Here is help for navigating the often frustrating transition to post-secondary education. With a goal of improving transition outcomes for youth and young adults with IDD, the Show Me College website offers resources for students, family members, educators, and counselors to better prepare youth for life after high school. 

These resources include research-based best practices and policies, practical strategies, and the stories of students with IDD who have attended, and thrived in, college.
