My name is Miesha Oxley and I am a SLP over at Grass Valley Elementary. This spring we are holding a book study of Uniquely Human written by Barry Prizant. This text was a game changing book for me as an educator and person working with Autistic individuals.
It is my hope that these book club sessions provide connection, education and support for parents of Autistic students in the Camas School District. Prior to the session, I will send out communication on what sections of the book we will focus our chat around. We will talk it out as a community and work through any questions or ideas that this section of the book brought fourth.
I invite you to take a look at the book, read the reviews and consider this opportunity as an experience for you. The intention of this book study is to affirm, validate and get curious about the Autistic experience.
GroWild Boutique Playroom is a clinic opening up this spring in Camas. One of our very own Grass Valley moms who is also an incredible occupational therapist has welcomed us into her beautiful space. There is a 40 person capacity at the clinic. It is an amazing space with lots of interactive tools. It is one large space so your kid would be in the same room as the book club but they could engage elsewhere. You would be still be keeping your eye on them throughout the chat.
