In Their Own Words:

Survey completed by William Kitz 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 formal specialized services"

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.

"Our program has organizational tutors who help in this area, especially social skills."

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 - no formal degrees"

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

"Yes: We work one-on-one, provide suggestions and feedback."

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

"With medical diagnosis, this is possible."
