| Popis: | UPC is a technical university that only provides studies in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) area. Currently, it is unlawful for universities and colleges to discriminate against students with disabilities (which includes those on the autistic spectrum disorder, ASD) by treating them less favorably. MEET-UP is a support program at the UPC designed to fulfill this legal duty. Rules and strategies have been designed at the UPC for making 'reasonable adjustments' so that students with ASD are not put at a substantial disadvantage and ensuring that ASD students can fully participate in all aspects of studying, including education and other benefits such as social activities and the use of student facilities and services. COVID-19 has affected many aspects of university and MEET-UP program has evolved to mitigate negative effects on ASD students. First of all, we wish to thank the students who enrolled in the MEET-UP pilot project for their courage and strength. We also wish to thank, the members of the local Autism Spectrum Association and the UPC staff for their invaluable help and commitment with the project.This research was funded by TRA2016-76914-C3-1-P Spanish R+D Programs and by Secretaria d’Universitats-i-RecercaGeneralitat de Catalunya- 2017-SGR- 1749. |
