OMAHA: Support Group for Adults on the Spectrum

This group meets at Pump It Up along with our other Omaha Support Network groups (Teens, Children, and Parent Support).  Please don’t worry that just because it is at Pump It Up that you’ll have to bounce!  (Although you can if you want!)  Pump It Up has multiple meeting rooms that we are using to host meetings for our different support groups.

The Adult Support Group starts at 6:30pm so that attendees can avoid the 6pm check time when all of the families participating in the bounce rooms arrive.

Our Adults on the Spectrum Support Group meets in a separate room where they can have a quiet discussion facilitated by group volunteer, Carol Salber, MS, LMHP.

First Monday of the Month

6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Pump It Up (in a separate meeting room)

960 S 72nd St

OMAHA UPDATE! Tonight’s Pool Party/Movie has been cancelled due to weather

OMAHA UPDATE!  The Autism Society – Omaha Support Group regrets to inform you that we are cancelling tonight’s Pool Party and Outdoor Movie!
It appears that mother nature decided that this is the time for some much needed precipitation.  And even if they skies hold out the temperature is not looking ideal.

We hope that by letting you know now you will have time to come up with an equally fun “Plan B” for your family tonight.

The Autism Society Omaha Support Network’s Biomedical Parents Support Group is an informal discussion of biomedical interventions into autism spectrum disorders. From the basic to the more involved, all biomedical questions and topics are welcome. This group does not offer medical advice but is a forum for parents to share experiences in the hope they are useful to other families.
The group meets at Whole Foods in their Lifestyle Center. Whole Foods is located just south of the Westroads mall at Regency and Dodge.

If you have any questions regarding the group you can contact Karen Falconer Al-Hindi karen.alhindi@gmail.com.
