The LSU Lutrill & Pearl Payne School of Education launched a new program, the Integrative Community Studies Program. The two-year certificate program, known as "LSU Community," is designed to provide adults with moderate disabilities with a life-changing university experience to improve independent living, competitive employment, and relationships. A significant number of Louisiana adults have intellectual or developmental disabilities (CDC). Included in that population are young adults who have exited public school special education programs for individuals with disabilities. LSU's Integrative Community Studies program joins eight other college and university programs in the state that will be providing supports to young adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
