Thu., Jul. 28 at 8 p.m. on WKAR WORLD 23.2 | Three young adults with intellectual disabilities work toward inclusion and independence.

Intelligent Lives follows three young adults with intellectual disabilities: Micah, Naieer and Naomie, who, with the support of family, educators and colleagues, work toward a future marked with increased inclusion and independence. Their lives challenge staid notions of intelligence as they navigate high school, college and the workforce. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actor, Chris Cooper.
