The Spoken Wheel Society
The Spoken Wheel Society (SWS) is a social group for adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. Founded by an adult with autism, the group offers both in-person and virtual social opportunities.
Members gather virtually every Friday (except the second Friday of the month) from 1-2 PM for social interaction and games. On the second Friday of each month, the group meets either at The Els Center of Excellence campus or a local venue for two-hour interactive gatherings. Members are encouraged to bring their own food and drinks.
Additionally, members independently organize monthly off-campus events on Saturdays for activities like bowling, movies, or dining out. These events are not staffed by Els for Autism and require participants to navigate community environments independently.
