On Monday, March 3, 2014, the Geauga County Board of Developmental Disabilities, also known as The Metzenbaum Center, kicked-off Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month with a book-signing by author Barry Henkin. His autobiography, Why Am I So Special? talks about how he overcame the physical, mental, emotional, and societal obstacles that have confronted him since birth. Barry read some excerpts from the book and individuals and staff asked questions.
Barry then signed copies of his book. Everyone had a wonderful time and Barry is a fantastic speaker! His book is available on Amazon.com.
