Education support services can also offer students emotional and social support, such as counseling, mentoring, peer tutoring, and extracurricular activities. These services can help students cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues that may affect their learning and well-being.
Educational support services means individual or group opportunities providing information to parents which focuses on: parenting skills, child growth and development, building of self-concept, nutrition, positive guidance techniques, family resource management, parent literacy, and how to access the array of supportive services from a network of agencies that are available to families with young children who are at risk.
Education support services are a range of programs and resources that aim to help students achieve their academic goals and overcome any challenges they may face in their learning journey. These services can include tutoring, mentoring, counseling, disability support, career guidance, financial aid, and more.
The study examines the following research question: What are the needs of students with Asperger's Syndrome (AS), and what are the services and accommodations available to them at the post-secondary level? An increasing number of individuals diagnosed with AS are entering institutions of higher education. This study is exploratory in nature, hoping to discover in what ways institutions can better accommodate and serve this population. The research project uses quantitative and qualitative research methods to analyze data. A random sample of postsecondary institutions that are members of the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) were surveyed. The study is designed to assist Disability Support offices in expanding their knowledge and services for those students with AS.
