As educators and advocates, we recognize the challenges faced by students with autism within the traditional educational systems. Outside and inside the classroom, many students struggle to access specialized resources. Our club is dedicated to bridging this gap by offering personalized educational support to students with autism that not only addresses academic needs, but also promotes confidence and independence. All of our tutors: "acknowledge that holding a tutor position with the Autism Educational Support Club is a serious commitment, and promise to uphold this commitment for their student. They are dedicated to preserving the trust bestowed upon them by their student, and promise to consistently show up for them with planned educational resources to further their learning and grow their peer-tutor relationship."
