IDEAL Program at GSU

Kicking off Day 1 of IDEAL’s Pre-ETS Summer Camp!☀️

Our Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) Summer Camp helps students build the skills, confidence, and experiences needed to explore future careers and prepare for life after high school. Through engaging, hands-on activities, students have opportunities to discover their interests, develop workplace readiness skills, and learn more about potential career pathways.

Today, campers got to know one another through fun icebreakers and activities that helped them discover shared interests. Students also explored career possibilities through job exploration activities and toured Georgia State’s campus to learn about different jobs and career paths that keep campus running.

We’re excited for a week full of learning, growth, and new experiences! 🌟

Happy Birthday Hassan🥳🎉 IDEAL wishes you a wonderful day!

Another day, another adventure! ✨

Yesterday, our Girls Group visited Morehouse College to explore the world of STEM and assistive technology. Students tested out virtual reality experiences, learned about innovative tools that support people with disabilities, and connected with STEM students on campus. 🥽💻

They also took time to learn about the history and significance of HBCUs and the important role they continue to play in education and community.

The IDEAL Leadership Summer Camp is officially underway!🌟🙌This week, our Girls Group visited the FIFA Fan Fest at Centennial Olympic Park⚽️, where they tested their soccer skills through interactive games and cheered on teams during the Portugal vs. DR Congo match. We can’t wait to share more highlights from camp this summer!☀️✨

Join us in celebrating 🎉

Inclusive Postsecondary Education (IPSE) programs, like IDEAL at Georgia State University, create meaningful opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities to access college experiences, build independence, and prepare for their futures.

Through IPSE, our students are not only gaining academic and career skills. They’re building confidence, forming connections, and becoming active members of their communities. 💙

Today, we celebrate their achievements and continue to advocate for access, equity, and inclusion in higher education.
