Join the Club!

I love book clubs. So I'm delighted to find (read in an email
from Leisa Hammett actually) that there are book clubs
especially for teens and adults with autism or other 
developmental delays.


Ohio State University Nisonger Center launched
the Next Chapter Book Clubs to provide a social
group especially for people with developmental disabilities. 
You can find out more at 
www.nextchapterbookclub.org
Contact them to see if there's a book group near you or to start one.
A quick look showed a Midwest cluster (Indiana, Illinois, Ohio)
If you are in Nashville, instant gratification-here's the flyer from my email:
