some must have resources – Books on tape and CD’s / Books Large Print/ equipment to help you hold your book you are reading if you cannot hold it yourself/ a quiet area to read your book if needed/ books in braille/ ADA has a set of regulations this is just a few things our local library has
maybe use some books that are read slowly from a cd player for those who can’t read that well.
Also having someone to help them to locate the books.
Using books with large print and on low shelves so they won’t have to try to reach too high.
Short and long stories, sometimes a story that is too long for them will only frustrate them more.
Books on coping with different obstacles due to learning difficulties.
