If you would like to contribute to students involved in The College Program as they pursue a life of quality, please visit The Marshall University Foundation and designate your gift to The College Program for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The College Program for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder was the first campus-based support program of its kind in the nation when founded in 2002. It remains one of the most successful in terms of graduation rates; creating a community of acceptance and understanding; supporting academic, social ,and independent living skills, and most importantly; enhancing life quality. The program has also been very effective in helping students transition from graduation to meaningful employment.

The program’s success is due to a person-centered supports that provides for holistic supports while teaching life skills that lead to greater independence. Students benefit from the support of highly educated, skilled and dedicated staff and through the mentoring of carefully selected graduate students.

What an amazing program supported by a wonderful, caring and dedicated staff. As parents, you want the best for your child. And we certainly get that as our son is doing so well at Marshall. The school’s autism program is the best example of a caring community, and the staff are true miracle workers. We have never seen our son happier, more independent and driven to have a future of happiness and fulfillment.
