In Their Own Words:
Survey completed by Ann Ravenscroft 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?
"No"
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 - SCU has nothing specifically for Asperger Syndrome in program design. Students are expected to be self-advocates and seek out resources available to all students. (i.e. tutoring, counseling, health center)"
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.
"Yes - through the counseling center - all counselors have a Ph.D. in psychology - however students must seek the service out and make appointments themselves."
Do you have any counselors on staff with experience supporting social skills and facilitating social integration?
"Yes - see above"
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 - limited space - students need to self-identify early after being admitted and make a deposit in order to arrange for a signle room. "
