Academic Training

Students, many with disabilities, who are committed to the philosophy of Independent Living are recruited to join the RTC/IL and to earn graduate degrees while they participate in research and development. 

Several students have entered the University of Kansas Applied Behavioral Science graduate program and joined the Research Group on Rehabilitation and Independent Living (RGRIL) to work on RTC/IL projects, receiving stipends for their work. Often, their project work counts toward academic program requirements.
