The goal of this presentation is to inform participants of a proposed NSF INCLUDES Alliance that will broaden pathways to the STEM workforce for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The University of Cincnnati has partnered with The Ohio State University, Vanderbilt University and Think College to begin developing a comprehensive inclusive workforce model in which postsecondary programs develop STEM pathways for individuals with IDD, which includes supporting employers in recruiting and retaining employees with IDD. The project team is currently investigating national models and best practices for employing individuals with IDD in STEM career pathways. This presentation will share the shared vision of the network of partners who will develop a leadership and communication plan to guide ongoing collaboration to iteratively implement, refine, and broadly disseminate the model.
