Wish List Giveaway: Rody Gets Meds
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.
- Medical Special Needs
- Medical Special Needs
Today we want to let you all know about our Medical Special Needs 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 Medical and Special Needs Forum
You can also see the event calendar, which is a great place to post workshops, webinars or livechats you want your fellow Medical and Special Needs 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 Medical and Special Needs 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!
- • First of all, have you already commented on a previous post? Then lucky you! Anyone who has already commented on a post from earlier in the week gets an automatic RE-ENTRY in every single subsequent Rody giveaway this week! That’s right, we’re rolling your entries over! (We decided to do this after consulting with some of our members and they said YES! DO THAT!)

Julia Roberts is founder of Support for Special Needs and has been a regular contributor since its inception in May 2010. A mom to two kids with special needs, she didn't want other parents to feel what is the often isolating world of raising a child (or two!) with disabilities. Her kids had kidney transplants at the age of eight and will need liver transplants in the future as a result of ARPKD/CHF. They both have vision disorders and learning disabilities.
My son’s OT use one periodically in his therapy. Rody’s are awesome and my son loves it!
Slapping down my name in hopes of snagging a RODY before Christmas!
I love the titles!! You guys have really pulled out all the stops for this one!!
Honestly … we NEED one (ok actually two but that would be greedy) at our home for our sensory seeking, thrill seeking, crazy active little ones. So I am hoping to win and would be SO excited if I do 🙂
Jen
my son has sensory issues and the rody would be helpful with his activeness. thanks!!
We’ve looked and looked at these. A little bit of drool may have also been included. A Rody would be well loved and much needed around these parts.
A great way for a medically fragile kid with special needs to get around these parts!
Thanks!
