Students with intellectual disabilities (ID) are less likely to continue their education or become employed after high school. Although transition services are provided, little is known about students’ understanding of their post-high school options. Using a social cognitive framework, the authors interviewed students with ID to determine their career and college understanding. Qualitative content analysis revealed varying amounts of perceived barriers and supports, including limited college and career knowledge. This article includes implications for school counselors.
