The Sense-ability collaborative project launches with a series that has been designed to obtain suitably qualified speakers to speak on various relevant topics.  We hope these talks will provide further guidance, support and networking opportunities for parents, teachers and healthcare professionals.

Sense-Ability aims to offer positive library experiences for people with sensory or additional educational needs. It strives to develop sensory friendly, accessible library services for the people of Sligo, Leitrim and Roscommon. It aims to provide a sense of belonging, a sense of space, a sense of welcome and a sense of support to individuals of all abilities, their families and caregivers.  It has been specifically designed to support children and adults who are Neurodiverse e.g. people with ADHD, DCD/Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Intellectual disability and/or those on the autism spectrum. Through consultation with relevant professionals, extensive staff training, a programme of events and the development of new and exciting spaces and services, Sense-Ability gives everyone the ability to use library services in an inclusive, safe, non-judgmental way.
