“You Gotta Read This!” Book Discussion 2026

Once a year, we select a book that we think the entire community could benefit from reading.  The challenge is to recruit people within your personal network to participate in a meaningful conversation about the Disability community while also increasing your own personal knowledge.  Once completing Special, we think you’ll tell your family, friends, therapists, teachers, and allies that “You Gotta Read This!”  We see the potential impact of this community-wide initiative helping to increase awareness, acceptance, accessibility, and compassion for children in therapy and their families.

Plus, everyone is invited to attend the free, LIVE discussion with this year’s author, Melanie Dimmitt as she joins us from her home in Australia on Thursday, Oct. 8th from 7:00-8:00pm: REGISTER HERE.  You can sign up to participate in this discussion individually on zoom, or you are welcome to join us at the GENEROC.I.T.Y. Toy Shop to participate as a group.  Signing up with this registration form helps us plan accordingly for our simultaneous in-person and online options.  For professionals, this discussion has been SUBMITTED for 1 hour of Early Intervention Continuing Education Credit.
