Resume/CV

Dr. John Andresen is an assistant research scientist at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community.

Andresen’s background is in education, working as a junior high school special education teacher for 4 years. His research includes many areas surrounding the transition to adulthood for individuals with intellectual disabilities, focusing on Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) programs across the nation. Specifically, Andresen’s research is interested in the impact of these programs on students’ long-term employability.

Degrees

Andresen holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education from Purdue University, a Master’s Degree in Special Education and Ph.D. in Special Education from Indiana University.

Personal Statement

My passion for my research agenda is driven by my mother, who was a special education teacher throughout my childhood. With this guiding force, I have been fortunate enough to work as a camp director for children and adults with disabilities, serve as a junior high school special education teacher in the Hoosier state, and now have the opportunity to work with the IIDC. I hope to continue to pursue my line of inquiry to identify efficient, effective, and equitable practices for the transition to adulthood for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
