SSD offers Academic Support Programming (ASP) to help students connected with our office make the most of their academic experience here at the University.

ASP workshops, coaching and other educational intiatives are focused on enhancing the academic experiences of students. Specifically building academic skills, strengthening executive functioning skills, developing learning strategies and providing support to decrease academic stress. ASP seeks to initiate community building among neurodiverse students and serves as an opportunity to elevate engagement, self-efficacy, motivation and academic performance.

ASP aims to support students in the following ways:

• Stimulate student learning and growth of academic and executive functioning skills

• Create initiatives focused on academic achievement and advocacy

• Increase student awareness of campus supports and resources

Academic Coaching

Academic Coaching is a working partnership that focuses on the process of learning. With an ASP team member, students examine their learning experiences, habits of working, and current difficulties or barriers to success. Together they work to develop academic skills, implement effective learning strategies that meet the student's goals. Group and individual academic coaching is available during the Fall and Winter semesters for Undergraduate, Graduate and Professional students as space is available. Limited coaching will be available during the Spring and Summer semesters on a case by case scenario.

Sessions will begin the 2nd week of the semester.
