DSU STRONG
DSU STRONG goal
Students with ASD add to the diversity of DSU’s student body, giving neurotypical students opportunities to learn how to work and interact with others of different perspectives and perceptions. These are important skills in the new global working world. Also, many supports and accommodations needed by students with ASD can be leveraged and expanded to serve other DSU students who have similar needs.DSU STRONG staff

The advisor is the central liaison for students with ASD, faculty, and staff. He also participates with the rest of the Student Success team to assess and make recommendations for University-wide adaptations or accommodations to support student and career success for all DSU students.
