Towson University Student Involvement

Service Learning

More than 200 Towson University students a year are involved in service-learning experiences in programs and Social Groups at the Hussman Center for Adults with Autism. 快活视频students learn to interact with adults with autism as peers and members of the community.  Many students decide to go on to careers working in the field of autism.  Throughout their experiences in programming, they think about and report ways that they can support more inclusive communities and help advocate for more accepting workplaces.

Fieldwork Experiences

Students in professional preparation programs learn best practices for working with adults on the spectrum. 快活视频programs that are currently involved include Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science, Speech-Language Pathology, Nursing and Family Studies.  

Students interested in participating in programs at the Hussman Center, please consider enrolling in IDHP 300, a course which meets service-learning requirements for Towson University and provides an opportunity for weekly interaction with neurodiverse individuals.
