Implementing Neurodivergent and IDD Inclusive Teen Volunteer Program

Adapt and redesign your library’s existing teen volunteer program to provide work-related experiences that are meaningful for both the neurodivergent and intellectually and developmentally disabled (IDD) individuals and the library. In this session, we will talk about how to identify and respond to the needs of participants, establish relationships with participants and their families/caregivers, develop staff training, and assess outcomes to improve your program.
