Presenter: Lauren Mathews M.S., CCC-SLP (Clinical Professor, Department of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology, University of North Texas)

This presentation provides the results of a qualitative pilot study examining four neurodivergent college students’ perceptions regarding their social-emotional well-being and university supports. Their descriptors and perceptions of their lived experiences provide real-life examples of their social-emotional strengths/challenges experienced while attending a 4-year university located in the north Texas area. The gained insight into their experiences and support preferences/deterrents can facilitate informed decision making on what should be in place to best support all facets of their well-being.
