AHEADD, Achieving in Higher Education with Autism/Developmental Disabilities

Currently, accommodations in higher education lack consideration of characteristics that affect the ability of certain students to achieve their potential. While college accommodation plans provide excellent in-class assistance, students with Learning Disabilities, ASDs, AS, NVLD, and ADD require far more comprehensive, individualized, and ongoing support to address difficulties in the areas of organization, social skills, and communication.

AHEADD's mission is to establish and maintain best practices which fill this void in a manner that respects students as adults, complements the traditional college accommodations plan, and maximizes use of existing campus resources.
