MLC 2018

In this session we will look at do’s and don’ts, tips and tricks, advice and information on planning and presenting a story time that’s welcoming and inclusive for everyone, including input sensitive children and children on the Autism Spectrum. I’ll be sharing my experiences in researching, planning and presenting a Sensory Storytime geared towards children aged 3 – 5, their siblings and caregivers. The presentation will include the practices that worked for me, what surprised me and what didn’t work. Specifically, we’ll be discussing planning and promotion, creating support resources like visual schedules, setting up the room, recommended reads and audience appropriate literacy learning based activities.
