In Their Own Words:
Survey completed by Susan Kuehn 4/06:
Does your school have any specialized services - for instance, a facilitated support group, organizational support, communication and advocacy with professors, or support for students to have work experience - for students with Asperger Syndrome and related conditions, such as Autism or Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified?
"Brevard College offers organizational support through the services of the Office for Students with Special Needs and Disabilities. In addition, Learning Specialist Services can offer more intense organizational support. These services, however, have an additional fee. Other specialized services, such as communication and advocacy with professors, are provided through the Office for Students with Special Needs and Disabilities."
Does your school offer any kind of supports that might be of help to a student with Asperger Syndrome? If so, with which student population(s) in mind were they created (for example, students with learning disabilities)? Please describe those programs and services.
"Each Asperger's student at Brevard College has been unique in their particular set of challenges in these areas. The following offices or services can be involved in assisting these students - the Office for Students with Special Needs and Disabilities, Learning Specialist Services if student selects and pays for, Counseling Dept, Medical Services, Campus Life Office. "
Do you have any counselors or other personnel on staff with specialized training in supporting students with Asperger Syndrome or other Autism Spectrum Disorders? Please describe.
"The Counseling Dept continuously takes part in further educational opportunities regarding Asperger's Syndrome, as well as other conditions."
Do you have any counselors on staff with experience supporting social skills and facilitating social integration?
"All counselors have experience in these areas as students with or without Asperger's can have difficulty in those areas."
Are single residence hall rooms available on campus for students with Asperger Syndrome or other conditions that can lead to discomfort sharing personal space?
