Narrative

Massachusetts Inclusive Higher Education at Cape Cod Community College, known as MAIHE, is an ongoing opportunity for students with significant intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD) and/or autism (ASD) to attend college.

MAIHE students are:

1. Concurrently enrolled high school students (aged 18–22) receiving extended transition services through their school districts
   Or
2.  Students over age 22, no longer receiving transition services, who have not received a diploma, and who would benefit from continued support attaining post-secondary education goals.

Students build their independence as they achieve transition goals. We have a socially valued setting. They learn alongside their age-appropriate peers, achieving academic goals in a fully inclusive community. Students learn to balance coursework, along with college life. Program prepares them for community-based internships and employment, and their greatest level of independent living. MAIHE students develop a career plan based on their personal goals, interests and voc assessments.
