One of the many things that make Landmark College a better choice for students who learn differently is that we constantly strive to provide the right kind of support for the wide profile of learners that come to the College. 本着这种精神, we have developed an early orientation designed for students with a diagnosis of autism (including diagnoses formerly known as Asperger’s Syndrome, 高功能自闭症, 或PDD-NOS).

常见问题

  • 同行项目的与众不同之处在于其基于证据的实践基础. The concrete skills help you make and keep friends with people you actually want to be friends with, 和/或和你真正想约会的人约会. 点击这里了解更多信息.

  • 不一定. 同行并不是一个交友组织. 更确切地说,这是一个你将学习帮助你交朋友的技能的项目. 然而, some of the people in your group may actually become your friends as a result of the shared experience.

  • 为了使计划有效, it’s important to work with people you are comfortable being around and who are comfortable being around you. 当我们把学生和能接受的同学放在一起时,我们会考虑到这一点.

  • 我们的许多学生觉得他们已经掌握了这些技能. 为你, the value of these discussion-based sessions will be in practicing these skills within different situations and with different people. 通过知识的分享, you can teach other students something new and possible learn something that will help you feel even more confident.

  • 没有人被要求参加同行. It’s important that you are making the choice to participate in order for the program to work for you. 如果交朋友或约会对你很重要, 然而, 你在过去已经发现这些事情具有挑战性, 同伴可能会有所帮助. 大多数尝试同龄人的学生选择坚持下去.

  • 是的! 学生们可以先尝试几周,然后再决定是否继续参加这个项目. 一旦你决定参加同行,我们要求你定期参加.

  • 同行是一个为期一个学期的项目.

  • 建议每组人数在10 - 12人之间. 每个学期我们通常提供4 - 5个同行课程.

  • 我们的约会训练营在以下方面与学生合作:

    • 让别人知道你喜欢他们
    • 邀请某人约会
    • 约会该做什么和不该做什么
    • 约会
    • 如何解决冲突
  • “没有同龄人, I don’t think Gavin’s transition would have been nearly so smooth or successful—so not fraught—nor would he have gotten a glimpse of how thrilling and enriching the college experience can be in nonpandemic times. I’m not sure how excited he would have been to continue if not for 同行 providing him that window into the great exploratory and experiential and relational adventure that is college life.”

    ——加文的父亲.彭宁顿,新泽西州

  • “同行真正改变了我的生活. 成长的过程中, I was always struggling in trying make friends as well as when it came to socializing outside my family. 但在加入同行之后,我不仅获得了社交技能, 我终于开始结交可以依靠的朋友了!”

    卡米.佛罗里达州种植园

     

    “I think that 同行 has given me a lot of the language and conceptual ideas to label interactions that I have been actively experiencing, and allow me to reframe them in new ways that allow me to better navigate and understand the circumstances that I run into.”

    -Gabrian R.西点军校,弗吉尼亚州
