My topic is on people with intellectual disabilities and post secondary education. I want to inform on what college programs are available for this population and their experiences in said programs. Although Wikipedia already has articles that address people with intellectual disabilities, the dimension of college education isn't addressed in detail. Since these pages don't really inform on educational opportunities, my contribution can be best addressed as a stand alone article.
The following is a list of resources that are relevant to the topic:

FEEDBACK Great idea, Fred. Be prepared to write some of the background of this when you start a new page.
