In Their Own Words:

Survey completed by Sylvia Robertson 3/06:

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?

"Accommodations for time, notes, etc. as indicated. Academic advisement. Advocacy with professors. General Education tutorials for fee."

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.

"Limited counseling services available in Student Affairs. Students seeking campus residence must be able to handle their own physical, emotional, & medical needs & continue to demonstrate that ability."

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.

"No specific training other than workshops."

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?

"When available."
