Carly B. Gilson researches how people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) can be better supported in education, employment, and social life, with a focus on transitions from high school to college or work. Her work spans topics like inclusive postsecondary education programs, workplace inclusion, peer friendships, and how race and culture shape families' experiences navigating disability services.
