Adapted Library supports neurodivergent access to library programs: adapted programs are sensory-friendly targeted toward the needs of neurodivergent children, teens, adults, and their families/caregivers. Neurodivergent includes autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder, Tourette’s, and other developmental and learning disabilities.
Registration for Fall 2024 Adapted Library programs opens September 1. For more information and registration details, please email LibraryAdapted@plano.gov.
