STS: Supervising Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may search for student employment on campus, but do not want to disclose that they're on the spectrum. Without knowing a student, how can you accurately identify a student's strengths and skills in the interview? In this session, we'll learn about the characteristics of ASD, the benefits of employing students with ASD, some of the challenges they may face in the workplace, and how to navigate the process of hiring and supervising students with ASD. This workshop will provide tips for current and potential supervisors of students with ASD and leave time for questions and discussion among attendees and facilitators.
