Special Education & Communication Sciences and Disorders Does ABA Therapy Help Students with Autism Transition or Adapt to the College Lifestyle?

Many individuals that have autism use ABA therapy, which helps improve specific behaviors, communication, socialization, adaptive learning skills, and academic skills. This is a qualitative study, based on asking collegeaged students survey questions about their demographics, ABA therapy experience, if it helped them in college, and their family. Based on this evaluation thus far I will then gather if participants have similar results about ABA and how that helped them transition or adapt to the college lifestyle. Oral / Q&A Session C
