Examples from the University of Connecticut demonstrate how outreach and services may require collaboration with campus and off-campus resources, particularly for students with disabilities transitioning from high school.

Students on the autism spectrum are attending colleges and universities in vastly increasing numbers. Though these students are typically very bright and academically capable of succeeding in higher education, achieving success in college goes far beyond academics. Being a college student, especially on a residential campus, requires many other life and social skills, as well as a certain degree of independence and self‐motivation; therefore, it is essential that students choose a college that has programs, services, and resources appropriate for their needs.
