Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autisum Spectrum Disorder (ASD 101)
When: Monday, November 15, 2021, 2:00-3:30 p.m. in the Collaboratory (109B Halle)
Description
Each year, roughly 49,000 individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) complete high school (Wei, Wagner, Hudson, Yu, & Javitz, 2015). Approximately 16,000 of those students will pursue higher education (Wei, Wagner et al., 2015). Eastern Michigan University has untold numbers of students with ASD who may or may not disclose their autism. The College Supports Program (CSP) is a fee based program for students admitted to EMU who have autism.
Students on the autism spectrum may display confusing behaviors in class and regardless of their intelligence may experience difficulty in your courses. What can help? This workshop will introduce faculty to (ASD) and the challenges students may experience, as well as understanding the legal accommodations (LOA) that faculty may receive from the student as well as Universal Design for Learning (UDL) which are a set of strategies that will benefit student with ASD as well as other students in their class.
Attendance over Zoom will be offered as well, should you wish to attend virtually.
