Supports for Autistic Postsecondary Students

Many autistic students have a variety of strengths and the desire to succeed in postsecondary education. Nonetheless, most autistic students report not receiving adequate support in postsecondary education to ensure their success. We conducted an environmental scan of autism-specific supports (e.g., website information, transition programs, peer mentoring) available to autistic students within Canada’s publicly-funded postsecondary institutions. Please find below a list of institutions with autism-specific support. If you know of supports that are not listed below – please email us at mames@uvic.ca! For more information, click here. This website was created with the support of the University of Victoria Pathways to Impact: Mobilizing Knowledge Fund.
