The resource school librarians and teachers need to support students with disabilities in an inclusive space.
Providing ready-to-use lessons, programs, and ideas, this book offers valuable advice for school librarians and teachers who are supporting students with disabilities. Readers will walk away with specific ideas for collaborating with the other professionals on campus to support these students’ specific needs. Understand how to create and nurture important relationships with these students and their teachers, how to support IEP learning goals in library lessons, and how to write inclusive library skills lessons.
A unique feature of this guide is its tutorial on adapted books. Adapting books for durability and adding sensory items to enhance images offers an added connection to the story and increases engagement for students both with and without disabilities.
This book provides practical strategies based on the author's hands-on experience, teaching readers how to seek funding, gain administrator support, host community adapting events, partner with community members and companies, and create the books and collections themselves. Research, ideas, and lessons from other professionals, including special education teachers, are included for a wide range of expertise and creative ideas.
The encouraging and helpful advice in this book will inspire you to build an inclusive library that supports all students in the school community.
