About
Lifelong Learning with Friends (LLwF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides inclusive postsecondary education opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs). Based at the University of Texas at Austin, LLwF offers year-round courses—both in-person and virtual—designed to promote academic exploration, social connection, and community integration. Founded and led by family members of individuals with IDDs, the organization is committed to increasing access to higher education and meaningful peer relationships. Through its reverse-inclusion model, adults with and without disabilities learn alongside one another, fostering belonging, independence, and advocacy.
