Popis: A summer program was designed to provide a social learning and work experience for students with developmental disabilities. For 3 weeks, high school students with developmental disabilities participated in a variety of jobs on a college campus and worked alongside college students. This collaborative experience enabled students with and without disabilities to work together and develop both working and social relationships. The experience resulted in benefits for the high school students with developmental disabilities, the college community, and the community at large. We share personal perspectives about this experience through the voices of the participants and offer some thoughts to stakeholders in community-based projects for individuals with disabilities.
