Choosing
a college and staying there.
This course introduces common problems encountered
by college students on the autism spectrum transitioning from
high school and home into a college environment. Some topics
covered as these young adults experience the paradigm shift
from being advocated for in public school to having to advocate
for ones self in college. Some of the topics covered will
include obtaining academic accommodations and strategies,
legal issues, residential and housing considerations, as well
as developing self-advocacy skills while the student is still
in the public schools.
