In Their Own Words:

Survey completed by Mary Oswald 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?

"Services are delivered on an individual basis. We are a relatively small college and have the benefit of being able to work directly w/ professors and students to prepare both for course expectations, etc."

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.

"Any student w/ disability is eligible for weekly appt. w/ disability coordinator to address that student's particular needs. "

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.

Do you have any counselors on staff with experience supporting social skills and facilitating social integration?

Are single residence hall rooms available on campus for students with Asperger Syndrome or other conditions that can lead to discomfort sharing personal space?
