In Their Own Words:
Survey completed by Brent Greiner 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?
"Yes, conditional upon level of abilities of the student"
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.
"Counseling, academic advising & educational planning as well as specific accommodations i.e. notetakers, extended time on tests, readers are services provided to all students with documented disabilities - accommodations are specific to student needs and documentation."
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.
"Most staff have backgrounds in LD/ADD/VI and in psych disabilities in general, but do not have specific extensive training in Asperger/Autism."
Do you have any counselors on staff with experience supporting social skills and facilitating social integration?
"Most counselors have some experience in supporting social skills however this is not a central focus of our services at this time."
Are single residence hall rooms available on campus for students with Asperger Syndrome or other conditions that can lead to discomfort sharing personal space?
"We are not a community college and do not have dorms."
