Advisory Group for the Development of a Healthy Adults Education Module for Students with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities Participating in HEELS UP: An Inclusive Postsecondary Education Program

There is an urgent and dire need to address public health issues that affect transition-aged individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD), especially while these individuals are living in dorm settings and/or away from their primary caregiver(s) for the first time. The proposed Capstone student research project will address this vital issue through the development of a Healthy Adults Education module to be integrated into programming for HEELS UP, an inclusive post-secondary education program.
