Description (abstract)

The IMAGE (Improving Employability of Autistic Graduates in Europe) project involves partners from five European countries (Finland, England, Holland, Germany and France) and aims to improve the supports during higher education and employability prospects for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). People with ASD are entering higher education at an increasing and unprecedented rate. These individuals are academically competent and might achieve better than their peers without autism. This project examines the mentioned challenges for individuals with ASD as well as higher education staff.
