Autism Speaks Duquesne to Host First Sensory Olympics

Autism Speaks Duquesne, the chapter of the national student organization that raises awareness and funds for autism research, will be hosting its first Sensory Olympics from 7 to 10 p.m. on Thursday, April 11, in the Union Ballroom.

The Sensory Olympics consist of five events in which students experience different sensory overloads. The event is designed to increase awareness of sensory sensitivities, which many people with autism experience. The student team that completes the five events in the shortest amount of time will win a prize.

While the event is for students, donations will be accepted with all proceeds going to Autism Speaks.
