PSYC 360 - Bonding across Boundaries: A Service Learning Experience

Aims to engage students in considering ways to break down the barriers that young adults with disabilities face as they seek vocational, social and recreational opportunities within our communities. Students read research literature at the intersection of social psychology and disability studies that explores the psychological and social experience of disability. They then participate in an extended service-learning experience in which they collaborate with local teens and young adults with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders on projects that build on their common interests and serve the wider community. Students keep a journal throughout the semester, prepare a proposal describing their collaborative community engagement project, and complete an evaluation study of their project.
