• Supports up to 8 selected participants per year; 4 in each graduating cohort during the spring semester
• Funded as a model demonstration site in 2010 by U.S. Department of Education. Serves as a model program for the state by providing support to satellite programs in NC and technical assistance to programs across the nation

Dependent Variable: Support Needs*
• Use scheduling software & schedules
• Examine ‘hours supported’ while doing program related activities
• Self-evaluation: The Face Test• “I’m more independent. On my schedule there
are more pictures of me on there.” 2nd Year UP Participant
*We colloquially refer to this as ‘independence’

“when we start working independently then our supports start to fade. Eventually you get to work on your own ... And then we will be able to help the new students and that kind of thing.” 1st year UP Participant

Michael Kozicki
• My growing independence• How did UP help me become
more independent?
• Fading support- how I know I’m ready
• My biggest college accomplishments
• College opportunities that were not available elsewhere
![Page 18: David Westling , Kelly Kelley, Seb Prohn , Michael Kozicki , and Leslie Kozicki](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/568135ca550346895d9d2d7e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Leslie Kozicki
• Ways Michael has become more independent
• The structure of WCU UP increases independence (PCP; natural support feedback; fading, etc)
• Michael’s growth & accomplishments from college
![Page 19: David Westling , Kelly Kelley, Seb Prohn , Michael Kozicki , and Leslie Kozicki](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/568135ca550346895d9d2d7e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Implications for Practice
1. Make and quantify schedules, but be flexible
2. Hold consistent PCP meetings with everyone’s input
3. Monitor behavior/goals via online questionnaires at least weekly
4. Set family expectations early and provide guidance with meeting post-UP goals
