If De’onte Brown could’ve somehow seen into the future on his first day of class at Georgia State University in 2017, he would’ve been very surprised by his transformation. In what felt that day like a fast-paced new world has become a place that feeds his creativity.
“Once you get used to campus and used to the teachers, then you start to do better,” De’onte said.
He is a student of film and video production in Georgia State University’s Inclusive Digital Expression and Literary program, known as IDEAL. The post-secondary education course of study is for students with intellectual disabilities, and a project of the Center for Leadership in Disability on the GSU campus. De’onte’s disability is developmental delay. He attends classes with students without intellectual disabilities.
