Best college programs for students with autism?

I’m trying to help my friend who has autism find colleges that offer excellent programs and support services. What schools are known for accommodating and providing resources for students with autism to help them succeed?

There are several colleges known for their strong programs and services for students with autism. Here, I've provided a few examples:

1. Marshall University in West Virginia: This school has a comprehensive program, the College Program for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, including support with social skills, daily living, and managing coursework. The students also get the chance to live in a dedicated housing community which fosters a supportive environment.

2. University of Connecticut: UConn has the Strategic Education for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (SEAD) program, which assigns individualized mentors to students and offers academic and social support. They use a proactive approach to track student's progress and ensure they're doing well academically and socially.

3. Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in New York: RIT's Spectrum Support Program focuses heavily on academic coaching, career enrichment, and self-advocacy. They work closely with academic advisors and the cooperative education department to ensure internships and work experiences are successful.

4. University of Arizona: Their SALT (Strategic Alternative Learning Technique) Center is well-known for its learning support programs. They provide services like one-on-one mentoring, and tutorials for study strategies and time management.

Remember that each of these programs has its own variety of resources and may be better suited depending on your friend's specific needs. It would be worth researching each one further and reaching out to ask any specific questions they might have about accommodations and support mechanisms.
