    Post-secondary education programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities can improve employment and independent living outcomes. A study surveyed parents of 27 graduates of a mixed-model post-secondary program and found that over 70% of graduates were competitively employed and over 80% were living independently after completing the 2-4 year program. The program focused on academics, employment training, self-determination, and life skills to help graduates find jobs and live on their own.
