🎉WOW!! We are blown away by the generosity of our community, and our partners at 7Brew coffee. Their ribbon cutting ceremony was this morning and we were presented with a check for $16,589.50! All proceeds were donations from their Caffeine for a Cause weekend. This amount is double the amount raised during other give back weekends at locations across the country. ☕
We are grateful for partners who believe in our mission and live it out every day. We look forward to growing this partnership!

Check out this cool opportunity to attend an adaptive book demonstration at Madison Public Library this Wednesday.

📚 Madison, Wisconsin! 📚

I am excited to be coming to Madison to share the power of adaptive books and how they help make reading accessible for children of all abilities.

Join me for an Adaptive Book Demonstration where you'll have the opportunity to see adaptive books in action, explore hands-on examples, learn how they support different needs, and discover how we can build a more inclusive community through literacy.

✨ Every child deserves the joy of turning the page. ✨

In addition to the demonstration, copies of my memoir, An Unexpected Normal: Raising a Child with Special Needs, will be available for purchase and signing.

Whether you are a parent, educator, therapist, caregiver, librarian, or community member, I would love to meet you and share this important resource with you.

What a pleasure it was to meet Max, and his parents, from Max Mix - Gourmet Spice Blends ! Max has attended GiGi's Playhouse - Twin Cities, so we of course needed to give them all some GiGi's Playhouse - Madison swag.
Max’s spices are now in 150 Hy-Vee🛒 stores, and we also have some Playhouse friends that are employed with Hyvee.
Thank you for the generous gift pack donations to our gala too!
Our Executive Director even got her spices signed by Max!
Be sure to check out what Max has to offer by visiting his page.
