The After 22 Pilot Program connects adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to career training, educational opportunities, and jobs. Historically, after the age of 22, people with disabilities age out of traditional schools. This left them with few options to further their education, until now.

At Daley College, students are lifelong learners. And the staff at Daley is committed to advancing students’ lives and providing opportunities for them to succeed. With After 22, this now includes all students.

To enroll in After 22, students must have been ensured a free public education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), have a documented intellectual disability, have a high school diploma or GED, and be 18 or older.
