Supporting Neurodiverse Students in Academic Libraries

Neurodiverse students encounter myriad barriers and hurdles to thriving in academia, and there is an increasing need for all types of accessibility in our libraries. Librarians and educators working in academic institutions can partner with neurodiverse students to help them flourish on campus and establish community.

In five parts, Supporting Neurodiverse Students in Academic Libraries offers practical advice that can be easily implemented and scaled to various types, sizes, and budgets of libraries.

• Instruction
• Services
• Cross-Campus Collaborations
• Resources
• Spaces

Chapters include effective practices for students with autism spectrum disorder, brain trauma, and PTSD, but also depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. Supporting Neurodiverse Students in Academic Libraries demonstrates the power of working alongside students to create welcoming spaces, services, and resources that can help all students succeed.
