The mission of the Louisiana Alliance Postsecondary Inclusive Education is to increase post-secondary inclusive opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities in Louisiana. 

 Louisiana offers six inclusive higher education programs that allow students with intellectual and developmental disabilities to enjoy a college experience. Four of out of the six programs are Comprehensive Transition Programs (CTP). The CTP programs are degree, non-degree, or certificate programs for students with intellectual disabilities that are designed to give students opportunities to grow educationally and socially.
