United States College Programs for Autistic Students

The College Autism Network has developed a list of college support programs that specifically serve autistic students. Members of the College Autism Network Virtual Association of Scholars (CANVAS) recognized there was an absence of a comprehensive list of programs specifically designed for the autistic students.

The PDF is designed as a resource for autistic students interested in seeking a college degree, parents and guardians of autistic students, guidance and transition professionals, and other support personnel. In addition to researchers and scholars, colleges and universities may also find this PDF helpful in finding peer institutions.

The document, United States College Programs for Autistic Students, is available at, https://collegeautismnetwork.org/advocacy/institutional-initiatives/. A PDF version of this information is  also available. United States College Programs for Autistic Students (PDF)

More information about the College Autism Network  and their efforts to to improve postsecondary access, experiences, and outcomes for autistic students can be found at https://collegeautismnetwork.org/.
