Post-secondary Support Programs for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Literature Review
Palavras-chave:
Autism Spectrum Disorder, Post-secondary Education, Higher Education, Disability Support ServicesResumo
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the fastest growing disabilities in the world. Research shows that students with ASD are increasingly being accepted into college. Students with ASD and other developmental disabilities have specific needs; however, college disability support services (DSS) offices are not equipped to meet and/or may be limited in meeting these unique needs. The purpose of this literature review is to provide an overview of research related to the experiences of students with ASD at the post-secondary level. Topics explored in this review are support services for students with ASD in higher education, challenges supporting students with ASD at the post-secondary level, recruitment and retention of students with ASD at the post-secondary level, establishing additional service support programs for students with ASD, and access and equity for students with ASD within higher-education.
