BASIS Program at Edinboro University
Overview
Let Edinboro University's autism support program be the basis of your success.
At Edinboro University, it is our mission to focus individual attention on the success of all students and we take great pride in our more than 40 year history of serving students with a wide variety of disabilities. We recognize the unique needs of each student with a disability and strive to not only provide accommodations for the classroom and testing, but to work with each student to access myriad opportunities within the university community.
In order to provide opportunities for college students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to achieve excellence in all areas of their university experiences, professionals, within the Office for Students with Disabilities have developed our Boro Autism Support Initiative for Success (BASIS) program.
The BASIS Program

- Helps students make a smooth transition to become self advocates, function as an independent adult and achieve academic success.
