In Their Own Words:
Survey completed by Vincent Yamilkoshi 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?
"Not at this time"
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.
"Learning Center would provide 'academic coaching,' a service offered to all students with disabilities. Subject tutors would also help assist in some of the above issues."
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, we do have a University Center for Counseling, and psychological services for students with more serious concerns"
Do you have any counselors on staff with experience supporting social skills and facilitating social integration?
"Yes, we do have counselors and residential assistants but no specific programs for students with severe problems."
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, a single room can be an accomodation."
