Brief Report: Autism-Specific College Support Programs--Differences across Geography and Institutional Type
Nachman, Brett Ranon; McDermott, Catherine Tobin; Cox, Bradley E.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v52 n2 p863-870 Feb 2022
Many postsecondary institutions have begun their own Autism-Specific College Support Programs (ASPs) to integrate the emergence of autistic students into college and offer supports aiding their success (Longtin in J Postsecond Educ Disabil 27(1):63-72, 2014), yet little is known about these programs. We conducted an exhaustive, year-long search of all postsecondary institutions in the United States to identify all ASPs. Although we identified a total of 74 programs located in 29 states, our analyses suggest these are unavailable to students in large portions of the country. When they are available, these programs appear to be disproportionately located at 4-year institutions, public institutions, and in the Mid-East. Our study highlights inequities based on institutional type and geography, as well as offers a complete public list of ASPs.
