Autism Initiatives—BOND Program

The Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities’ Building Opportunities for Networking and Discovery (BOND) Program offers community, academic support, social events, and more for students with autism at MSU. Within this program, students connect with others who have had similar experiences and can find support in a small group at our big university. The BOND program, open to students of all levels, empowers participants as learners and leaders in a program that is always progressing to meet student needs. Check out our BOND Program brochure! 

Your Support Will Make a Big Difference

Help us grow this opportunity and increase capacity by supporting this innovative program. 

Students may participate in any or all components of the BOND Program!  

Individual Meetings - Participants are encouraged to meet with their RCPD Specialist on a weekly basis to discuss personal goals, strengths, and challenges and develop strategies for success.  

Peer Mentoring - Peer mentors connect with participants to offer support in all aspects of the program. Mentors are fellow MSU students with strong social and academic skills.  

Social Outings - Each week, peer mentors invite participants to campus and community activities. Invites are sent via text, social media, and the BOND newsletter, and participants are welcome to participate in activities of interest.  

Social and Skill Building Events  - Events offered throughout the semester create opportunities for connecting with others and learning and practicing new skills. Each event incorporates fun and engaging activities with purposeful and individualized skill development.  

Employment Planning and Preparation - Participants are connected with the MSU/MRS Careers Collaborative and other community partners to increase employment readiness skills and explore internship and employment opportunities.
