Webinar: Serving Individuals with Autism

Originally presented July 15, 2019

Over half a million individuals on the autism spectrum will become adults in the next 10 years. However, there is a lack of resources and services to meet the needs of this group, in particular, older individuals on the spectrum. In this free one-hour webinar, Carrie Rogers-Whitehead goes beyond sensory story time and provides practical recommendations on ways that libraries can better serve this growing population. In this presentation you will learn more about this group's needs and receive actionable guidance on ways to provide autism-friendly customer service, technology, and programs at the library.
