Thank You RIT!

Thank you, RIT!

On Saturday, September 29^th, Sue Ackerman, Disability Services Director, and Laurie Ackles, LMSW presented to seventeen people, both parents and students, on Autism Spectrum Disorders and College…Is it Right for you?  RIT has a highly regarded “Spectrum Support Program” which partners incoming freshman with Asperger’s Syndrome, for example, with an veteran student from a related academic department. 

They gave an overview of what to look at, what questions to ask, and what to look for when considering college for someone on the Autism Spectrum.  The information was right on target and very helpful.  The audience asked some excellent questions, and everyone left feeling they had a place to start.

Thank you to RIT, to Sue and Laurie, and to Jen Danker-Stiles, who helped initiate this presentation.  (Jen is a graduate of RIT who was part of their Spectrum Support Program.)
