High School Math and Science Preparation and Postsecondary STEM Participation for Students With an Autism Spectrum Disorder / Xin WEI in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 32-2 (June 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 32-2 (June 2017) . - p.83-92 Titre : High School Math and Science Preparation and Postsecondary STEM Participation for Students With an Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Xin WEI, Auteur ; Jennifer W. YU, Auteur ; Paul SHATTUCK, Auteur ; Jose BLACKORBY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.83-92 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder, postsecondary major, college, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), high school coursework, standardized test scores Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous studies suggest that individuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more likely than other disability groups and the general population to gravitate toward science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. However, the field knows little about which factors influence the STEM pipeline between high school and postsecondary STEM major. This study analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study?2, a nationally representative sample of students with an ASD in special education in the United States. Findings suggest that students with an ASD who took more classes in advanced math in a general education setting were more likely to declare a STEM major after controlling for background characteristics and previous achievement level. Educational policy implications are discussed.

Postsecondary Pathways and Persistence for STEM Versus Non-STEM Majors: Among College Students with an Autism Spectrum Disorder / Xin WEI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-5 (May 2014)

This study analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2, 2001–2009, a nationally representative sample of students in special education with an ASD who progressed from high school to postsecondary education. Findings suggest that most college students with an ASD enrolled in a 2-year community college at some point in the postsecondary careers (81 %). Those in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields were more likely to persist in a 2-year community college and were twice as likely to transfer from a 2-year community college to a 4-year university than their peers in the non-STEM fields. College persistence rates varied by gender, race, parent education level, and college pathway and major. Educational policy implications are discussed.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Participation Among College Students with an Autism Spectrum Disorder / Xin WEI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-7 (July 2013)

This study analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2, a nationally representative sample of students with an ASD in special education. Findings suggest that students with an ASD had the highest STEM participation rates although their college enrollment rate was the third lowest among 11 disability categories and students in the general population. Disproportionate postsecondary enrollment and STEM participation by gender, family income, and mental functioning skills were found for young adults with an ASD. Educational policy implications are discussed.
