What services do students on the spectrum need to succeed in college?

Michael McManmon, Ed.D., a psychologist who is himself diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome and who is a US Autism Association Advisory Board member, provides information that is helpful for students, clients, or parents of young adult children with learning differences when they transition to college. Dr. McManmon will speak about the importance of knowing what one needs for services, and explains the key to choosing a college. He will examine the importance of social thinking and social ability skills, as they are the foundations for self-advocacy and flourishing in college. Dr. McManmon will also discuss daily living skills that are needed when living away from home.
