Welcome to the Southern Illinois University Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders website. Our Center helps fulfill the University’s mission in several important and unique ways. We serve as a site for teaching and interdisciplinary training of graduate students who will be the future professionals in their disciplines of behavior analysis, speech language pathology, and other related professions.

The Center also is the home for research and evaluation related to creating and disseminating knowledge about autism spectrum disorders. Finally, the Center is the regional focal point in Southern Illinois for service to children with autism spectrum disorders, their families, community service providers, and the public. Please browse our links to learn in greater detail about our staff and activities related to autism.
