Alabama Postsecondary Alliance for Intellectual Disabilities (APAID)
Mission
The Alabama Postsecondary Alliance for Intellectual Disabilities (APAID) was formed in 2018. The goal of the alliance is to educate our state about postsecondary opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities, provide training in K-12 settings that will help prepare youth and parents for a transition into postsecondary, push legislation supporting students with intellectual disabilities in postsecondary, and to support each other in our efforts to create the most beneficial opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities in postsecondary settings.
