Portal for students and staff with Asperger Syndrome

Students and staff with Asperger syndrome/autism at the University of Birmingham can now access the AS Portal, which is an online discussion space. This was developed in 2008 in response to requests from students with Asperger syndrome. The portal is a place where students can meet online and current students will play a key role in shaping its growth and development.

The AS Portal will be available in 2008-09 as part of a pilot project being supported and evaluated by Student Services and ACER (The Autism Centre for Education and Research)

If you are a prospective student or staff member at the University of Birmingham and would like more information on this portal, or you are a current student/staff member and would like to join, contact:
