Children with High Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS) demonstrate many cognitive skills that allow them to succeed in college and careers. Likewise, they possess needs that create particular challenges on a college campus or in the workplace. This presentation discusses how to use the strengths students with HSA/AS have to build success in college and beyond as well as strategies to address the challenges, thus better preparing youth with HSA/AS for the post secondary world.
Learning Outcomes
- After this course, participants will be able to list the four key areas to consider when preparing students with HSA/AS for college.
- After this course, participants will be able to describe three strategies to address functioning in the four areas (recreation, self-management and advocacy, conflict management, study skills).
- After this course, participants will be able to describe how to create lesson plans to address skills in the four key areas (recreation, self-management and advocacy, conflict management, study skills).

Dr. Audet provided practical ideas for SLPS working with this population. Her technique of using questions to highlight potential goals within a task was incredibly helpful.(example: "encourage the child to enroll in an extracurricular activity" - who to contact?, what should I write ? etc.)
