Many services both inside and outside of the library focus on early intervention for those with special needs, and target the preschool population. These are wonderful programs, but some youth will not be able to keep up with their peers developmentally, and will not be able to fit in with traditional library programs.
In this interactive and informative webinar, you will find ways to better fill in the gap in these programs. Learn more about this population and how disabilities, particularly autism, manifest themselves at older ages. Discover programming and other ideas to include and engage this growing group.
Competency: Children’s Services

Carrie has trained extensively on this subject to libraries, service providers, parents, and has presented twice at Utah Valley University's annual autism conference.
