Serving the Neurodiverse Library User

Neurodiversity recognizes that people experience and interact with the world in many ways. While there are many dimensions to neurodiversity, it is often used in the context of the autism spectrum as well as other neurological or developmental conditions. By developing a better understanding of neurodiversity, library staff can create more inclusive library environments through interactions, spaces, services, and programs that welcome and respect neurodiverse patrons. Discover innovative design and service approaches that accommodate a wide range of needs, making your library a more inclusive and accessible resource for your community.
