“Next
Chapter Book Club: An Innovative and Viable Approach to Meeting the Literacy
Needs of Adolescents and Adults with Intellectual and Developmental
Disabilities”
Thursday, February 16, 2012, 2:00 – 3:30pm
Eastern Time.
The Next Chapter Book Club (NCBC) is a
community-based literacy and social program for adolescents and adults with
intellectual and developmental disabilities. NCBCs include five to eight people
with a wide range of reading skills who gather weekly in bookstores, cafés,
and, increasingly, libraries. This webinar will describe the NCBC model, which
has been disseminated to over 100 cities in North America and Europe. The
webinar will further explore how the NCBC model has been implemented by the
Scotch Plains Public Library, which is reaching out to people with
disabilities, especially those with Autism Spectrum Disorder, in a variety of
ways. Public librarians, especially those involved in outreach, programming and
teen services, high school media specialists, and community members interested
in authentic engagement and lifelong learning for people with disabilities will
find this webinar to be extremely useful and valuable.
Presenter: Jillian Ober, MA,
CRC, of The Ohio State University Nisonger Center on Excellence in
Developmental Disabilities.
