The report was commissioned in order to document and explore the experiences and of the students who are currently participating in the Inclusive Learning Initiative (ILI) at Maynooth University. The ILI is a pilot project, launched in 2011, which is seeking to make higher education more accessible for students with intellectual disabilities. The study documents the challenges, supports and benefits of the ILI from the students’ point of view. The findings are based on qualitative research (in-depth semi-structured interviews with all the ILI students, observation in the field and desk research). The data was analysed in a series of stages using grounded methods and the findings detailed here emerged through the thematic coding of content and narrative analysis. This report is one component of a number of interconnected but distinct research projects evaluating the value and efficacy of the ILI project through consultation with MAYNOOTH UNIVERSITY and ILI staff, external stakeholders, ILI volunteers and the students.
