The Hench Autism Studies Program

At Defiance College, we believe that understanding autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is about more than just learning a new vocabulary or having a diagnostic label to explain a person. Bringing together expertise and services in an innovative way, the Hench Autism Studies Program offers programing designed to support the development of inclusive communities.

• The ASD Affinity Program for college students with ASD
  
  
• A summer camp for teens with ASD
  
  
• An undergraduate minor in autism studies
  
  
• Professional development opportunities for educators, employers, social workers, law enforcement, and medical personnel
