This book will introduce the reader to international perspectives
associated with post-secondary school education for students with
intellectual disability attending university settings. Examples of
students with intellectual disability gaining their right to full
inclusion within university settings are outlined, as well as the
barriers and facilitators of such innovation. The four parts of the
text will act as a reader for all stakeholders of inclusion at the
university level. The first part examines the philosophical,
theoretical and rights-based framework of inclusion. The second
part provides evidence and insight into eight programs from across
the globe, where students with intellectual disability are included
within university settings. The third part consists of six chapters
associated with the lived experiences of stakeholders in the
programs profiled in Part 2. These stories are represented through
the voices of former students of inclusive tertiary education
initiatives, parents of adult children with intellectual disability
who have participated in tertiary education, and lecturers who have
taught students with intellectual disability as members of their
courses. In the fourth part, critical issues are examined,
including the role of secondary school counsellors, sustaining post
university outcomes, transition from university to employment,
inclusive university teaching approaches, and decision-making
approaches to successfully implement a tertiary education
initiative. The text concludes with a synthesis of the book themes
and proposes calls to action with specific tasks to move the
rhetoric of human rights into reality for adults with intellectual
disability through an inclusive tertiary education. Contributors
