Bridging the Gap between Libraries and Families of Children with Disabilities
By Jo Kaeding and Tess Prendergast
As two children’s librarians, practicing in different hemispheres, we had both witnessed many examples of the difficulties children with disabilities and their families face in accessing and benefiting from library resources, programs, and spaces. Passionate about improving access and inclusion for this group of the community, we independently embarked on doctoral research in the area.
