This study explores challenges faced by young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families enrolling in inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs during COVID-19. The benefits of attending IPSE programs are well-documented, but this group is disadvantaged accessing postsecondary education and employment. The heightened risk of COVID-19 for people with IDD further complicates decision-making. Through interviews with 11 students with IDD and 10 parents, the study explores decisions about enrolling in IPSE, highlighting the importance of access to alternative options, expectations during the pandemic, and the ability of IPSE programs to adapt to future challenges, notably online options.
