Date: 14 Apr 97 07:37:19 EDT From: Skill <[log in to unmask]> To: dis forum <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Supporting autistic students Reply-to: [log in to unmask] Skill has recently received an enquiry from a careers adviser who wants to find HE institutions that have experience of supporting students with autism. Has anyone any suggestions? Emma Delap, Skill Information Officer Tel: 0171-274 0565 Emma Nottingham has at least one graduate with asperger syndrome, and at least one applicant. We have a present student who was excluded from school at the age of eight for whom the LEA is providing DSA for substantial human support. The condition varies in severity. The start of the course, when people queue and do not know where they should be going may be particularly stressful, and it would be desirable to make special arrangements.
