In Their Own Words:
Survey completed by Susan Ackerman 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?
"We don't currently have any programs or services specifically or solely for students with this diagnosis. Our programs are open to any student on campus."
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.
"We have a counseling center that offers individual & small group sessions. We offer a fee-based program called structured monitoring that pairs individual students with a learning specialist. These programs were designed for anyone on campus - not specifically for students with disabilities."
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.
"Not specifically, other than general."
Do you have any counselors on staff with experience supporting social skills and facilitating social integration?
"Yes - we have a counseling center on campus and also offer the fee based structured monitoring program."
Are single residence hall rooms available on campus for students with Asperger Syndrome or other conditions that can lead to discomfort sharing personal space?
"Yes"
