Parent Group Meetings
2015-2016 Schedule
The Indiana Resource Center for Autism staff will present information to parent support groups across Indiana. Below is a link to the scheduled parent support group meetings for 2015-2016 along with information about topics, locations, times, and dates. In cases where information is incomplete, please email the contact person(s) for that parent support group to get specific logistical information. Information will also be updated on our website at http://www.iidc.indiana.edu/pages/parent-group-meetings as it is made available.
These parent support group meetings are free and open to the public. However, the content will be geared toward family members of individuals who have a diagnosis along the autism spectrum. The information will not be geared toward professionals. If you are a professional and know of family members in your area that may benefit from such a meeting, you are encouraged to forward the relevant information.
These free parent group meetings are possible because of the kind donations received from individuals and organizations. If you are interested in donating to the work of the Indiana Resource Center for Autism, please contact Pam Anderson at pamander@indiana.edu or mail your check payable to Indiana University to the Indiana Resource Center for Autism, 1905 North Range Road, Bloomington, IN, 47408.
