We hope you'll join us for C.I.T.Y. of Support's 1st "You Gotta Read This!" Challenge!
This brand new initiative is designed with the purpose of reading a compelling book and bringing the community together. Participants will register, read/listen to the book, recommend the title to others, and receive the link to attend the virtual author visit on Monday, Oct. 17th at 7:30pm! This challenge is meant to encourage participants to share information, learn, reflect, and start important conversations.
Based on parent recommendations within C.I.T.Y. of Support, we learned of a newly-published book called Forever Boy: A Mother's Memoir of Autism and Finding Joy by Kate Swenson, and just like those parents, we are confident that when finished, you'll want to share it with everyone you know--parents, teachers, therapists, physicians, friends, family, neighbors, etc! Her stories, themes, and lessons are relevant for parents with ANY child in therapy--this is not a book exclusively about autism. We believe that this challenge is the perfect opportunity to suggest that others listen, absorb, and reflect upon the parent perspective of navigating the needs of a child in therapy. This book will organically generate important conversations, and as a bonus...Kate herself will be joining us virtually for an author presentation/Q&A session on the last day of the challenge!
*Participants will receive IL EI credits for the discussion with Kate Swenson only.
