Answer to Question 1

The first step in accomodating special needs children in story sharing is for the story reader to recognize the type of disability involved and to understand what accomodations are needed based on the strengths and needs of the child. Most children will benefit from the use of multi-sensory stimulation (e.g. tactile, puppetry, clear expressive illustrations, a clear voice, and normal gestures). Children with a specific disability may need a specific accomodation as well (e.g. a blind child may need the reader to describe the illustrations).
