Wish List Giveaway: Rody has an IEP

As part of our Week Before The Week of the Great Big Wish List Giveaway we’re giving away two Rodys EVERY SINGLE DAY THIS WEEK!

This week’s giveaways are the only giveaways open to non-members!

Each day this week we’re giving TWO Rody Hop-A-Long toys from Gymnic! We want to get the word out about some of our great forums and so we’re letting Rody (and his friend, our site mascot Quinn) introduce you.

Rody is Studying!

IEP and School Discussion Group

Today we want to let you all know about our IEP and School Discussion Group!

The front page of all our groups is a place for quick updates and to see what’s going on. It’s a little like a Facebook wall. Someone can post an announcement and other people can reply. But it’s not as handy for in-depth discussion as a messageboard, which is why all of our groups also host a forum. Here’s a direct link to the IEP and School Discussion Forum

You can also see the event calendar, which is a great place to post workshops, webinars or livechats you want your fellow IEP and School Discussion Group members to know about.

Want to meet the other members? Here’s the roster!

You can upload documents to the group, too, like a great hand-out a teacher has shared with you or a flyer you think might interest others in the group.

Finally, like every group, the IEP and School Discussion group has its own livechat! You are welcome to use this anytime. You can schedule a chat (remember to post it to the event calendar!) or spontaneously check in if you realize other people are around.

Now here’s how to win a Gymnic Rody!

Rody is a fantastic Italian toy that a lot of therapists use for trunk work, balance, strength and fun. Rody isn’t just for kids with special needs — he’s fun for all, and well, he’s cute, too! Made of sturdy latex-free vinyl, Rody can hold up to 300 lbs, which means big brothers or sisters and even moms and dads can play with him, too. You’ll need a bike pump (or heck — the free air pump at the gas station) to inflate him but once you do he is ready to bounce!

The Rodys we’re giving away are all the pretty peach with red spots you see in the picture at the top of the entry and here’s how YOU can win him!
