As a result of the Cansler report, the North Carolina Community College System implemented an IDD Pilot Program. The purpose of the pilot program was to identify two partnering colleges, Catawba Valley Community College and Brunswick Community College, to research best practices and conduct a needs assessment to identify effective programming, wraparound services, outreach and marketing, assisted technology, benefits counseling and to identify community, state, and federal funding resources to facilitate credential attainment, increased employment opportunities, and improve overall engagement in college.
