Creating inclusive library environments: A planning guide for serving patrons with disabilities
Creating inclusive library environments: A planning guide for serving patrons with disabilities
“Librarians are continually faced with challenges of how to best meet the needs of patrons with disabilities, whether those patrons have physical or intellectual disabilities, differing learning styles, or even temporary problems which impact their access and may change over time. And because planning considerations range from policies and organizational culture to facilities, technologies, and beyond, librarians need a guide that covers everything: areas that can be addressed quickly and easily as well as those that require long-term strategies…. This planning guide will enable libraries to create and maintain a truly inclusive environment for all patrons.”

Practical strategies for supporting emotional regulation in students with autism: Enhancing engagement and learning in the classroom
Practical strategies for supporting emotional regulation in students with autism: Enhancing engagement and learning in the classroom “outlines cognitive and language strategies that support emotional regulation, which the authors have found successful with their students with autism, supported by research that shows why they work.
“The focus in this book is on the emotional state of the child as opposed to controlling behaviours. The guidelines and strategies provided help students with prediction and make the expectations of them clear, empowering children by giving them choices. Examples of how to use each strategy are given, alongside tips for application. The book also includes sample goals for regulation, information on therapy techniques that work and a ‘cheat sheet’ overview of the strategies, creating a clear and concise guide to engaging and enhancing learning in the classroom.”
