Three thousand copies of The Handbook given away

Our mission with Advocacy4All is to help families become stronger advocates for their children with special needs.

We are pleased to report that we have continued to accomplish our goals by expanding upon our library donation program and having given away over 3000 downloads of The Special Needs Parent Handbook in both English and Spanish for Kindle through a special promotion on Amazon.

Once the promotion ended, we continued to draw attention to the book which resulted in sales that raised nearly $1,000 to fund our initiatives.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to reporting more terrific results from future Amazon promotions (we can give away downloads for several days each quarter).

Regards,

Jonathan Singer

More books to libraries and helping more parents

Volunteers have continued to deliver copies of The Special Needs Parent Handbook through our library donation program.

Excerpts from the book have been published in NY Metro Parents Magazine:

http://www.nymetroparents.com/article/How-to-Find-a-Babysitter-for-Your-Child-with-Special-Needs

These excerpts will help provide important information to families unable to afford copies of the book while getting the word out to parents that would like to purchase one - all proceeds from sales of the book help support our library donation program and provide funds to organizations that help  parents to become stronger advocates for their children with special needs.

Thank you for your continued support.

Special Needs Parent Handbook in 300+ libraries

We are excited to report that with the help of volunteers, The Special Needs Parent Handbook is now available in over 300 US libraries and will soon be in over 100 more including locations in Montreal, Canada.  We have been donating books to libraries to expand availability of the book to families unable to afford one.

 

The USA Toy Library Association is helping with this initiative to provide access to the book to families of children with special needs that visit their member libraries.

 

Using some of the proceeds from Team Drive4Rebecca in the NYC Triathlon we have donated thousands of dollars to organizations that have information and advocacy hotlines to help families to be stronger advocates for their children.

 

Thank you for your continued support.
