Guest guest Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 While The College Living Experience (CLE) does a great job, the cost is out of the reach for most families as it costs approximately $33,500(2009 rates) a year for their services plus the cost of attendance to the individual institution. The CLE is not a DARS provider(The Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services) consequently, there are no outside funding opportunities to pay for their program. As a start, I would suggest reading the book " Realizing the College Dream with Autism or Asperger's Syndrome " , A Parents Guide to Student Success by Ann Palmer ISBN-13: 978-I-84310-801-6 ISBN 10: 84310-801 I would look at the following college programs and review the support services that they provide: Midwestern State-Wichita Falls Texas State University-San Marcos Marshall University Huntington, West Virginia Midwestern State provides many of the support services without additional fees charged by Marshall and the CLE program so I would check them out first. Be certain to do an intake with DARS right away as they can assist in tuition, books and room and board if the program is a specialized program to help a student obtain employment. Midwestern State's program would qualify for this scenario. That does not mean that if you opt for another institution, DARS is off the hook. If you have problems with this agency Advocacy Inc, will assist. You should start the intake process with DARS including assessments when the student attains his 17th birthday. I would also look into joining AHEAD IN Texas http://www.ahead.org/affiliates/texas\ which is an organization of the staff members of the colleges office of disability services. These are the individuals that your child will ultimately have to work with once he is in the respective university. One other thing to keep in mind. Your child has been protected under IDEIA for programming while in the public schools. Once he graduates, he will be protected under either 504 (public) or ADAAA (private). The requirements are much different in that the institutions may not discriminate and must provide " reasonable accommodations " for individuals with a disability. If he encounters problems with the institution in obtaining a reasonable accommodation, feel free to contact me for assistance. I wish you well. Louis H.
