Do Post-Secondary Students With ASD Process Information More Slowly Than Others?

A recently published study by RARC researchers examined this question! The team looked at whether students with ASD, alone or with comorbid conditions, perform below peers without neurodevelopmental diagnoses on speeded tasks. The results did not suggest a need for extended time accommodation based on a diagnosis of ASD alone, reinforcing the need for performance-based data to guide appropriate supports.

We're getting ready for our new STEPS cohort!

The RARC Transitions Team has been working hard behind the scenes to prepare to welcome a new group of Grade 8 students to our Successful Transition from Elementary to Post-Secondary (STEPS) program!

The STEPS program is a year long program that supports students with learning disabilities and/or ADHD to make a successful transition from elementary to secondary school and beyond. The program includes information and training sessions for both students and parents/guardians during the school year, as well as a summer program to teach students useful assistive technologies and prepare for high school.

We're so excited to welcome our new STEPS students and families!

Can teleneuropsychological assessments provide results consistent with traditional in-person testing?

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift from face-to-face (FTF) assessment to teleneuropsychology (TNP), allowing clients to complete neuropsychological evaluations remotely from their homes.

RARC researchers investigated whether cognitive and achievement scores obtained through in-person versus in-home TNP assessments were equivalent for youth with neurodevelopmental disorders.
