Educational Supports for High Functioning Youth with ASD: The Postsecondary Pathway to College
Zeedyk, Sasha M.; Tipton, Leigh Ann; Blacher, Jan
Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, v31 n1 p37-48 Mar 2016
This article provides direction for educational decision making specifically for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), who have the cognitive and adaptive capabilities required to pursue postsecondary college education. The purpose is to draw attention to the available postsecondary pathways, 2- and 4-year college options, by addressing important issues for college-bound young adults with ASD. These include living supports, practical skills, social supports, and educational accommodations. Furthermore, the role of educational and faculty supports is emphasized, as this is an area that has received little research attention.
