CEU: 3.0 Continuing Education Credit Hours

Session Description 

Students with autism and intellectual disabilities, are attending college in increasing numbers. Unfortunately, colleges and universities continue to have difficulty recognizing the unique needs, and talents these students bring to campus community. As we learn more about the needs of college students with autism and those supports that are most effective, we can advocate for and build better interventions in college campus communities. In this presentation, we will discuss common challenges described by college students with autism and those with intellectual disabilities, interventions that are showing increasing evidence in high school and college that promote positive outcomes, and methods for empowering students to advocate for themselves in this new setting. 

Objectives: Participants will be able to:

• Discuss common challenges described by college students with autism and intellectual disabilities
• Discuss interventions that are showing increasing evidence in high school and college that promote student success.
• Identify methods for empowering students to advocate for themselves in the college setting.

Instructional level: Intermediate
