Description
An increasing number of students with Asperger’s Syndrome and comorbid diagnoses are pursuing college degrees. Many institutions of higher education are not prepared to provide the necessary accommodations to help these students be successful in college. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to find best practices at institutions of higher education in accommodating students with Asperger’s Syndrome and comorbid diagnoses and helping them be successful in college. The findings of this study cite many important factors that need to be in place for students to be successful in college. Although some initiative needs to be demonstrated on the part of the student, there are many steps a college can take to help facilitate the students so they will be successful. Suggestions for students with Asperger’s Syndrome to look for in a college to be successful in higher education are outlined in Appendix I. While research does show that each student with Asperger’s Syndrome is unique and has individualized needs, there are many steps that can be taken to help the majority of students with Asperger’s Syndrome be successful in college.
