Resources from the National Center for College Students with Disabilities

As part of its mission, the National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD) is to provide assistance to colleges and universities, including faculty and disability ​services providers. NCCSD is the only federally-funded national center in the U.S.for college and graduate students with any type of disability, chronic health condition, or mental or emotional illness.

At the NCCSD site you can:
– Find free information for students, parents, families, high school and college faculty and staff in our  NCCSD Clearinghouse.**  Though not exhaustive, the NCCSD has collected their favorite resources about disability and higher education in one place. https://www.nccsdclearinghouse.org/
The Center’s Coronavirus – Covid-19 and College Students with Disabilities, page is updated frequently and has general information about Covid-19 and information on different topics ranging from mental health, housing, food insecurity, online classes/online learning and much more.
**(Higher education faculty and staff with disabilities can use the NCCSD, too.)

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/.
