Welcome to the Autism Spectrum Disorder Virtual Library. The SC Department of Education, Office of Special Education Services (OSES), provides support to educators, administrators, students, and families. The Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Virtual Library serves to further provide support to those searching for resources to support the community in relation to Autism Spectrum Disorders. The population of students identified as having an Autism Spectrum Disorder and eligible to receive special education services in South Carolina schools continues to increase. Working to support educators in our schools includes the need for resources that include early identification, academic and social behavior support, along with post-secondary options. The resources listed below have been vetted to include current information and useful resources for a variety of audiences. The links are for information only, and not required by OSES for use by any entity.
The OSES provides this webpage as a resource for administrators, educators, students, and parents who have an interest in learning about and supporting those with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). This Virtual Library serves to provide research resources, along with virtual trainings, printables and links to community agencies and universities that can further provide support for the ASD community. The buttons below will link you to the resources as described. An opportunity to ask a general question regarding ASD is provided with the answer and question being posted for others to see in hopes of providing as more information. Questions will be posted as deemed appropriate.
