ASD Family Resource Library Collection

The Autism Project is pleased to make available an array of books regarding Autism Spectrum
Disorders for families and other community members throughout Rhode Island. The anthology includes a vast array of topics for parents and caregivers such as:

  • facilitating communication
  • building social relationships
  • parenting with positive behavior supports
  • motivating learning
  • exploring feelings 

There are also books to teach self-advocacy, guide healthcare, address sensory and dietary challenges, and to prepare for life transitions. Readers will also find resources to help children understand their autism spectrum disorder, and to help them share stories by and about siblings, parents, and grandparents.

 

The Cranston Public Library is the host library for this collection, making the resources part of the
Rhode Island library system so that all families throughout the state will be able to request them from their local library.  The collection was donated by the Autism Project through funds from the RI Department of Health's State Implementation Grant under U.S. Combating Autism Act of 2006, and the books became available to checkout on June 14, 2011. On that day, the Cranston Library and The Autism Project hosted a reception for the general public to officially introduce the collection.

The complete list of books included in our collection is as follows:
