Motoring
Scott, a young man with a disability who loves motoring, dreams of driving a truck. He is in college, exploring a career in auto mechanics. Viewed from a wider perspective, Scott is part of a movement to expand college enrollment to students with disabilities and bring their talents into the workforce. But Scott's focus is on the here and now. "I am taking classes and exploring my interests. I like my classes. I feel confident. … College is keeping me on the move."

Charting the LifeCourse
Charting the LifeCourse was developed by parents to support the people they love to live a good life. Charting the LifeCourse has tools that can help you and your child plan, communicate, and problem-solve about what matters to them.
Charting the LifeCourse can help people explore, plan, and share their vision of a good life with others. This fall, ICI is offering free online workshops to families, educators, and anyone interested in learning about the Charting the LifeCourse framework and tools. Each workshop offers practical strategies, tools, and real-life examples to help center the voices, goals, and dreams of people with disabilities as they plan for school, life, and decision-making.
