Helping Serve the Neurodiverse in your Library Community

May 2, 2024; 2:00-3:00PM Eastern
Neurodiversity is a concept that encompasses autism, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourettes, dementia, mental health conditions, dyspraxia and other intellectual disabilities. This umbrella term is more commonly used by organizations and individuals to help define who they are, and what they care about. This webinar will help participants learn more about neurodiversity and how to better serve their neurodiverse community.

Through this webinar, you will learn:

  • What is neurodiversity?
  • The neurodiversity movement
  • People first versus identity first language
  • Collection development and programming suggestions
Presenter: Carrie Rogers-Whitehead worked in public libraries for about a decade and started the first autism-friendly library program in her state. She left her library position to start a mission-based company, Digital Respons-Ability, that teaches digital citizenship to tens of thousands of parents, students, and educators across the world. Carrie regularly writes, speaks and researches on digital citizenship and education. Carrie is the author of several academic books, including “Serving Teens and Adults on the Autism Spectrum: A Guide for Librarians.” Carrie continues to write for and train librarians and works with neurodiverse students.
