Postsecondary Transition and Equity Lab (PTEL)

Welcome to the Postsecondary

 Transition and Equity Lab! 

Led by Dr. Shikarpurya, our lab is driven by an equity-focused mission to promote culturally affirming and meaningful life outcomes for youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We examine systemic inequities in postsecondary transition and conduct community-driven and family-centered interventions to transform the postsecondary transition outcomes of racially minoritized young adults with IDD.
