The Information School at the University of Washington offers this toolkit of training modules and resources to help libraries provide early literacy services for autistic children and their families. The purpose of the toolkit is to empower youth-serving librarians and library staff with the early literacy training and programming materials they need to provide autism-inclusive early literacy services.

The toolkit includes librarian training modules, sensory audit checklists, and storytime lesson plans. The training modules are specific to the public library context and can be used by anyone with an interest in autism inclusion and inclusive literacy practices.

This project was made possible by funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services through its National Leadership Grants for Libraries program.
