Fridays | 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
This six-week course series invites school-age children to collaborate on a meaningful, community-centered project: the design, construction, and curation of a Free Little Library dedicated to neurodiversity education and celebration.
Participants will work together to build a physical library structure using accessible carpentry tools and collaborative design practices. Alongside hands-on building skills, children will explore topics of identity, inclusion, and diverse ways of thinking and learning. Each week, the group will also select, review, and curate children’s books and resources that reflect the rich spectrum of neurodivergent experiences—such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more—with a focus on respect, empathy, and empowerment.
In addition to teamwork and creative problem-solving, this course integrates occupational therapy principles, using the Allen Cognitive Levels framework to tailor executive functioning support and developmental goals. Children will receive personalized take-home strategies to help generalize these skills into daily routines.
This inclusive, social learning environment fosters leadership, creativity, and community impact. The finished Free Library will be installed and unveiled at the end of the course, offering children a proud and lasting contribution to their community.
