Abstract

Abstract:Autism-specific college support programs (ASPs) are emerging to create more equitable transitions into higher education for autistic students. Such programming is necessary to guide autistic students' journeys as they navigate academia with greater agency. This case study, drawing on the social justice model of disability, explores how an ASP works to dismantle ableism on a community college campus. Findings suggest how the ASP gained legitimacy, surmounted challenges, and promoted autism acceptance in its quest to disrupt institutional ableism and, consequently, transform its campus into a more welcoming space for autistic students. Student affairs practitioners can draw on findings to eradicate ableist practices and messaging within their campus spaces.
“校园灯塔”:针对自闭症的社区大学支持计划如何解决Ableism和自闭症接受问题
摘要:针对自闭症的大学支持计划(ASP)正在兴起,旨在为自闭症学生创造更公平的高等教育过渡。这样的编程对于指导自闭症学生在更大的能动性下驾驭学术界的旅程是必要的。本案例研究借鉴了残疾的社会正义模式,探讨了ASP如何在社区大学校园中消除残疾主义。研究结果表明,ASP如何获得合法性,克服挑战,促进自闭症的接受,以打破机构能力主义,从而将其校园改造成一个更受自闭症学生欢迎的空间。学生事务从业者可以利用这些发现来根除校园空间内的能人行为和信息。
