For over a decade, the Indiana Resource Center for Autism at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community has sponsored a student group on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University: Students on the Spectrum (SOS).

All Indiana University or IVY Tech students who live with an autism spectrum disorder or consider themselves to be neurodiverse are welcome. SOS is a self-directed club that helps students stay socially connected, become effective self-advocates, and explore supports and activities on campus and in the community. A listserv is used to keep club members informed, and for them to communicate and connect with each other. Events are scheduled with club members only, and in conjunction with the Neurodiversity Coalition and the College Internship Program. SOS is not a counseling program.

The SOS Club is now being led by Dr. Cathy Pratt, Director, Indiana Resource Center for Autism. For more information about becoming involved or if you have suggestions for the group, contact Dr. Cathy Pratt at prattc@indiana.edu or phone (812) 855-6508.
