Understanding and Assisting Library Patrons on the Autism Spectrum

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is estimated to affect 1 in 59 children in the U.S. and to be present across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Librarians will benefit from learning about modifications that can enhance the library experience for some individuals on the autism spectrum.

This workshop will provide librarians in school, public, and academic settings with a greater understanding of ASD as well as strategies for communicating more effectively with such patrons. Librarians will also learn strategies to make library spaces more accessible, design programming, and build relationships with community partners to better serve this patron group.
