For the most current and up-to-date information relating to COVID-19 and support for schools and settings during the wider re-opening phase, please visit our COVID-19 webpage. Any COVID-19 resources on our team pages are still relevant and useful but are more general or relate to earlier phases of lockdown and partial school closures. Many of our general resources will also be useful at this time.

Working with schools to inspire readers and raise reading standards

Autism and Neuro-Divergence Awareness Booklist

Friday 2nd April is Autism Awareness Day. This list focusses on positive stories to foster empathy and understanding for those who face increased challenges in their daily lives, whether this is due to ADHD, OCD or Autism. Chosen to encourage discussion, this collection includes books suitable as class reads for all ages and would help contribute to a tolerant and inclusive school environment.

Our experienced Library Advisors have selected a range of books for KS1/KS2 and Teen titles, 15 in each list.  You can purchase them at a special price for the set or order individual titles. Subscribing schools can opt to have these as part of their exchange allocation.

Please contact us for full lists.  Email us at ldp-schoolslibraryservicecentral@babcockinternational.com or call us at the Centre on 01392 287244.
