[aisle] Special Needs Library Services

[Leanne Brown]

Good afternoon,

I am looking to communicate with librarians who have experience working
with students who are autistic, or who have profound learning/behavioral
needs. My long-term goal is to develop a therapeutic library curriculum,
with books and manipulatives similar to that you would use in a storytime
program in a public library.

In my building we have a self-contained special education population of
roughly 30, with 12 of those students being more profound in their needs. I
am almost two years in my position, and I have learned a lot from our
self-contained special education staff, but I would like to hear from a
fellow librarian on your activities, approaches, resources, materials, etc.

I hope this makes sense, please contact me off-list so I don't clog up
everyone's emails. Thank you!
