For IU Students on the Spectrum--The S.O.S. Club


The Indiana Resource Center for Autism announces its fourth year supporting a student group on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University, Students on the Spectrum (S.O.S.). This Club is a safe place for students living on the autism spectrum to come and have fun, learn and connect with others who have had similar experiences. All Indiana University students who live with an autism spectrum disorder are welcome!

The S.O.S. Club provides opportunities for members to engage with each other and others within the university community around topics of interest. Each fall and spring semester, Club members plan various activities and topics for discussion. Past semesters activities and topics have included self-advocacy, confidence building, diagnostic disclosure, employment, development of a panel to educate peers, university personnel, and others about autism spectrum disorders as well as theater, yoga, culinary interests, and music inspired activities.

The S.O.S. Club will meet every Tuesday from September through December. Meeting times run from 5:00-7:00 p.m. in the Tree Suites wing on the Mezzanine level of the Indiana Memorial Union.  For more information, contact Marci Wheeler, S.O.S. Club Advisor, (812) 855-6508 or via e-mail at mwheeler@indiana.edu
