Could you start a post on ...
"Technology Resources for Children with Disabilities"
I (and others) can then leave some relevant links and comments
Thanks for the suggestion. I've started a discussion thread on that topic. Do you know about Closing the Gap?
Betsy, Thanks for your message. You will find some information on the Linda Lucas Walling Collection Web page. Click on my Web page link. You will see a link to the collection Web page. I will be posting information, and I hope others will add things as well. If you have specific questions, please ask. I look forward to hearing from you! Linda
Can you start a post on materials for middle and high school? I'd like to comment. Thanks.
Could you start a thread on books that represent children with disabilities? I had a woman come in looking for a book for preschoolers on this topic and all the books on our shelves were too "text-y" except of course, wonderful Mr. Rogers, who had a book about "Extraordinary Friends."
BTW, thanks for creating this blog. How exciting to have a resource/forum of this type!
I am a Public Librarian in a large suburban library. I work in the Children's Dept half-time and in Cataloguing half-time.
I will see what I can do to encourage people interested in storytelling and children with disabilities to participate in the blog or to connect with each other in some other wy. Meanwhile, check the sections on storytelling in Walling and Karrenbrock, Disabilities, Children and Libraries as well as Coy Hunsucker's chapter in Walling and Irwin, Information Services for Children with Disabilities.
