Programming for Special Needs Kids at the Scarsdale Library

The Scarsdale Public Library and C.H.I.L.D. have teamed up to provide special needs children and their families inclusive programming in a welcoming atmosphere at the library. This series of events is geared to kids who need some extra support but want to enjoy all the wonderful programs the library has to offer in a group setting. The Library will host movies, “Wag Your Tale” readings, yoga and an upcoming music event later this spring.

“There is such a need in our community for a place where special needs families can go and feel welcomed in spite of any differences their children may have. These kids need to belong and feel included. This series builds an opportunity for these families and allows the kids to be themselves,” explains Marian Green, Chair of C.H.I.L.D.

Here’s a list of upcoming events:

• The Smurfs, Saturday January 28th at 2pm
• Wag Your Tale, Too! On February 4th at 3pm
• Yoga on February 5th at 12:30pm

Siblings and friends are welcome. These events are where special needs kids can just be kids.

C.H.I.L.D. (Children Having Individual Learning Differences) is a committee of Scarsdale’s PT council and offers a network of resources, information and support for families in the community.
