"To receive services for Asperger's Syndrome, DSD will need to have on file documentation of this disability. This documentation should assess the impact of the Asperger's Syndrome on the student and how it limits the student's functional academic, social, and behavioral performance. As a result, DSD requests that documentation be current (within three years). Ideally, the appropriate licensed professional who performed the most recent testing on the student should fill out DSD's verification form. For more information as to what is appropriate documentation of Asperger's Syndrome, please refer to the link on the left called "Documentation Guidelines".

Once the student has returned this form to the DSD office, DSD personnel will meet with the student to discuss reasonable accommodations which may be useful to the student. Possible accommodations for a student with Asperger's Syndrome include:

  • priority class scheduling
  • letters to teachers, when requested, to discuss the condition, as well as appropriate classroom adaptations or accommodations
  • recruitment of note takers, as needed
  • information concerning accommodated test administration, i.e. extended time or a reduced distraction testing environment
  • permission for the student to tape record class lectures
  • liaison with Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services
  • information about tutoring for Core Curriculum, Math, and Study Strategies tutoring at the Learning Center
  • housing accommodations, as needed
  • reduced course load
  • referral to the BSU Counseling Center for assistance with stress and adjustment to college
