Innovative Library Programs to Support Autistic Individuals

Check out this recent article on innovative library programs for Autistic individuals. “Unlocking Potential: Innovative Library Programs Enhancing the Lives of Autistic Individuals,” written by Kelly Davis, provides information and resources for creating an inclusive and welcoming space for Autistic individuals visiting public libraries. They included suggestions such as providing Autistic-friendly spaces to reduce overstimulation, creating a set of programs and services specifically for autistic library users, or posting Autism-friendly signage to create a more welcoming environment. Providing safe spaces and programs for Autistic individuals is an essential part of creating inclusive environments where everyone can learn and connect with others.
