Event Description
This presentation aims to provide library workers with practical strategies and tools for developing outreach and in-library programming for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Participants will walk away with practical ideas for engaging with their community and concrete suggestions for successful and rewarding programming for adults with IDD.
Learning Objectives:
Rebecca Wolfe is the manager of the Grabill branch of the Allen County Public Library in Indiana.

- Participants will learn concrete first steps for implementing programming for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
