The Institute for Innovative Transition at the University of Rochester has been awarded a $15,000 Think College grant to conduct statewide planning for inclusive postsecondary education options for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Institute for Innovative Transition, housed at Strong Center for Developmental Disabilities (SCDD), is one of eight University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs) nationwide to receive a Think College grant from the Institute for Community Inclusion (ICI) at the University of Massachusetts Boston, with funding from the Administration on Developmental Disabilities.

The Institute will then sustain and continue project activities after the initial funding and planning period.
