Overview
At many colleges and universities, the number of students with Asperger’s Disorder continues to
increase. While these students have the intellectual abilities to be successful, they struggle with
understanding social cues and comprehending unwritten rules and procedures. They may be teased or
laughed at by other students. As a result, these students pose unique challenges to faculty members,
administrators and other students during their college careers. Working successfully with Asperger’s
students requires an understanding of their behavior and knowledge of how to communicate with them.
In this program, Brian Van Brunt, Ed.D., will offer recommendations for helping these students to
succeed.
Objectives
Participants will:
• Understand the various departments and locations where Asperger’s students may come into
conflict.
• Better understand students with Asperger’s Disorder, including their behaviors and needs.
• Learn strategies to build understanding, empathy and tolerance when communicating with other
students about Asperger’s.
• Come away with an improved understanding of how to better communicate with Asperger’s
students so you can focus on your course content (faculty) and ultimately help these students
succeed (advisors, student services staff, etc).
Who should attend?
• Student Services

• Faculty
• Advisors and Counselors
