Together, librarians and specialists can create experiences to reach all learners in their buildings, including those with hidden needs and talents.While school librarians are experts at collaborating with classroom teachers, too often they overlook the specialists in their buildings as key collaborative partners.Focusing on the many specialists who work with students, Karla Bame Collins provides information about their roles and responsibilities and discusses how school librarians can collaborate to improve learning for all students, including those with hidden needs, disabilities, and talents that are not easily detected and may go undiagnosed. Because librarians work with every student, but may not always be informed about each student's particular needs, it's important for them to know whom in the school to turn to for information. Librarians will gain ideas for working with students to provide the best possible learning environment for each.This practical book looks at the whole school library environment—collection, instruction, space, and programming—and offers many ideas for librarians to collaborate with other educators and specialists for the good of all students.

School Libraries Supporting Students with Hidden Needs and Talents: From ADHD to Vision Impairment is essential reading for both new and experienced librarians. It provides concrete examples and creative strategies to meet the needs of all students. Collins explains specific hidden needs and talents and includes suggestions for how to support students with these physical, mental, emotional, and social needs. Another unique feature is a chapter on universal design for learning and how to apply this framework when designing (or redesigning) a school library space and program. Although grounded in research and educational theories, the tone is conversational. It felt like getting practical advice and lesson suggestions from a trusted friend. I can see myself using this book as a reference tool, returning to it again and again.
