The online strategic planning tool is a web-based system that links research with practice to (1) build capacity and develop programs to provide K-12 transition education and services and (2) plan and implement inclusive postsecondary education programs. The postsecondary education component was launched on June 18 for use by all types of higher education institutions: Universities, state colleges, and technical colleges. Whether you are planning an inclusive postsecondary education program that serves students with intellectual disabilities or just seeking to improve your services, this planning system applies a framework for using data to reflect on current practice and outcomes, identify strengths and needs, and subsequently develop a plan to address needs and evaluate intended results.
