Product Description:

Students with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and other autism spectrum disorders are entering college in unprecedented numbers. Most students with AS have trouble regulating their behavior and affect, and in navigating the social and interpersonal aspects of college. This poses challenges to students in the social and co-curricular realm of college life. Consequently, it is often Residence Life, Safety and Security or Judicial Affairs and others who get the first call regarding a student with AS. Thus these difficult issues and uncharted accommodations fall to student affairs and counseling. This session will present a new model of service for college students with AS and the campuses they attend. . The presenters will provide participants with strategies for collaboration, referral, and consultation to promote inclusion for students with Asperger?s Syndrome. This session will also devote time for case consultation and questions.
