SUMMARY:Making Storytime More Accessible to Children with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is offered exclusively to PLAN member libraries and their staff. \n\n\n\nAccording to the CDC\, 1 in 20 children have a diagnosed disability. What’s more\, stigma and fear may be barriers for families with children with disabilities who may not feel welcome at the library and may not think Storytime is right for them. \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, learn how storytime can act as a bridge and connector for families with children with disabilities\, providing information\, resources\, and community. \n\n\n\nAttendees will gather strategies for planning and implementation to make your storytime more welcoming and inclusive to children with disabilities. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter: Author\, trainer\, librarian\, administrator\, teacher\, and accessibility consultant Renee Grassi is an advocate for equity\, diversity\, inclusion\, and accessibility in libraries\, schools\, and communities. As a neurodivergent librarian herself\, Renee has worked in public libraries for over 17 years\, developing award-winning library initiatives that welcome\, support\, and welcome disabled residents and their families and caregivers.
