Presenter’s Reference Guide (SPPD Accessibility Toolkit 2014)

The Services to People with Print Disabilities Working Group (part of the Accessibility Interest Group of the BC Library Association) applied for and received a grant from the Vancouver Foundation to produce a Disability Awareness Toolkit for libraries. The Toolkit is aimed at assisting library staff in providing services to patrons with any kind of disability.

This portion of the toolkit is a reference guide for presenters, containing background information, discussion statements, and relevant articles. A Workshop Presenter’s Guide and Webinar Presenter’s Guide are also available from the Toolshed.

For a complete explanation of this toolkit, please see this article: http://bclabrowser.ca/index.php/browser/article/view/648/816
