Aggies Elevated at Utah State University is Utah's original college program for students with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD). We are excited to expand the program to the USU-Eastern campus in Price for Fall 2022! Applications are open now!
Aggies Elevated is a certificate program designed to empower college-age students with I/DD to become resilient problem-solvers and self-determined citizens of inclusive communities. With the assistance of staff and invited stakeholders, Aggies Elevated students create a person-centered plan to identify challenges, build on individual strengths, seek out and utilize supports, and encourage personal responsibility in five domains (Lifelong Learning, Independent Living, Community Involvement, Self-Advocacy, and Career Development). The program’s goal for graduates is competitive integrated employment, full community inclusion, and independent living to their highest ability.
With the help of a $1.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Utah Valley University will be launching a three-year certificate program for Utah residents with intellectual disabilities in summer 2021.
Young adults with intellectual disabilities in Utah will soon have two new college options, thanks to a $1.9 million Department of Education grant.
The first year of college is stressful for everyone. But for those with developmental disabilities and mental health concerns, it can be especially overwhelming.
