| Résumé : |
Background As students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are increasingly enrolling at institutions of higher education, their new experiences and offered supports impact their success in this realm. The current review extends previous syntheses of literature related to support systems for students with ASD in higher education, as well as their first-hand experiences. Method This review systematically considered experiences of students with ASD in higher education and supports offered to them in both academic and non-academic realms as reported by students themselves. Of the 2,354 screened studies, 24 met inclusion criteria for review. Results Students with ASD experience high rates of mental health issues, sensory challenges, and social, academic, and communication difficulties. Academic supports, which were infrequently reported, include tutoring, accommodations, and coursework modifications. Non-academic supports included social skills training, peer-mediated interventions, counseling, and other university disability services. Although available, these supports may not be fully utilized due to students’ nondisclosure of their ASD diagnosis. Conclusions Non-academic supports for students with ASD are increasing along with this population’s enrollment in higher education, yet the development of academic supports appears to be less prevalent. These findings suggest institutions of higher education focus on the development and accessibility of academic supports, and additionally, provide faculty and staff with effective professional development to address the stigmatization of seeking out and utilizing available support systems. |
