Welcome to the Massachusetts Center for Inclusive Higher Education and Transition

At our core, we are dedicated to enhancing inclusive higher education and transition services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Massachusetts. Our experienced team is a recognized leader in advancing innovative practices in higher education and transition.

We proudly lead initiatives like the UMass Boston Transition Leadership program, which prepares professionals for the transition specialist credential. Additionally, we provide comprehensive training, technical assistance, and professional development to improve college-based transition services for Massachusetts Inclusive Postsecondary Education (MAIPSE).

We collaborate with schools, universities, and adult disability service providers to support individualized pathways to education and career opportunities for youth and young adults with disabilities. We are also committed to equipping families with the knowledge and resources they need to support their sons and daughters in achieving their goals.
