Eastern University's College Success Program for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (CSP) addresses the unique needs of Eastern University students living with ASD. The CSP’s supportive services are targeted to individual needs and are offered in context, as students experience life in traditional undergraduate baccalaureate programs on the St. Davids campus.
A division of the Cushing Center for Counseling and Academic Support, the CSP has a close and complementary relationship with disability services, academic tutoring, and the Writing Center. It also serves as liaison to Eastern’s faculty and staff, providing them with ASD-specific information, training, and consultation.
