In Their Own Words:
Survey completed by Louise Bedrossian 2/06:
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?
"Coaching is provided for any student with a disability (weekly) along with appropriate accomodations."
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.
"No services designed only for students with disorders on the Autism Spectrum, but they are referred to appropriate campus resources available (counseling, tutoring, advisement, etc.) as well as to community resources."
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.
"One counselor (LPC) and director."
Do you have any counselors on staff with experience supporting social skills and facilitating social integration?
"Not specializing, but familiar with issues."
Are single residence hall rooms available on campus for students with Asperger Syndrome or other conditions that can lead to discomfort sharing personal space?
"All bedrooms are private with shared common space in apts for four. Some efficiencies available for additional cost."
