California BrainWaves

I got a warm hug from The Fonz last night!  Did you know Henry Winkler has dyslexia? He has written a memoir which mentions his struggles and ways he overcame reading and memorizing scripts! He also had to take geometry 4x before passing---and no one has once said "hypotenuse" to him since high school. He attended Yale regardless.  He has co-written several children's books, including ones featuring overcoming dyslexia stigma! Here's a link to one series he has co-written: Hank Zipzer Collection 10 Books Set Pack Henry Winkler And Lin Oliver https://a.co/d/jeucsRL Thank you, Brian Copeland, for introducing him to me last night. #CABrainWaves CABrainWaves.org #neurodiversity  

Check out what our Neurodiversity Nonprofit did on Halloween--a Halloween Neurodiversity Game Show! See our Neurodiversity Storytime Series as well!  https://youtube.com/@CABrainWaves?si=xOgndGO38h0H3gr6

Join California BrainWaves on Halloween Day in the SF Bay Area 6-8pm at Antonio Cardenas 15th Annual Halloween Display in San Leandro, CA! Actor/Comedian Brian Copeland will be quizzing people on brain facts: if they guess right, they win candy; if they guess wrong, they are sacrificed to the zombies! Videos will be posted on our youtube, tik tok, social media channels. California BrainWaves is a local nonprofit fighting to end the stigma on neurodiversity. #CABrainWaves Donate on Venmo @CABrainWaves. CABrainWaves.org

Our 6th Arts and Crafts Swap was another success! Today, a volunteer and I dropped off the left-over goodies to Washington Elementary School in San Leandro--they loved the freebies! Thank you to all who came out and played--California BrainWaves appreciates our community bond!
