Learn to Make Adaptive Books with Rita Angelini

Adaptive books are modified reading materials with added visual supports. Our presenter, Rita Angelini, has been making adaptive books for years. These books can be used with children with a variety of developmental differences, including autism, challenged fine motor skills, language delays, visual challenges, and complex bodies in general. They can also assist reluctant readers.

Family members, aides, community volunteers/groups, service organizations, social workers, teachers, librarians or media center helpers, and disability advocates are all welcome to come to this event. This is a one-hour workshop to learn how to turn a picture book into an adaptive book so that everyone can enjoy reading.
