What Is the CCIC?

Established through the California Budget Act of 2024 (CA Education Code Sections 66032–66032.2), the California Center for Inclusive College (CCIC) was created to serve as California’s State Technical Assistance Center dedicated to building and expanding Inclusive College Programs (ICPs) at colleges and universities, with a particular focus on students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

The CCIC will provide resources, information, and support to colleges and universities, local education agencies, students, and families to build capacity across the state to expand 4-year inclusive college opportunities for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities in California.

Led jointly by the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) and the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE), the CCIC will partner with students and families, state agency partners, regional centers, colleges and universities, and community-based organizations to ensure a comprehensive and sustainable approach to inclusive higher education in California.
