Meath County Council Library Service has developed a specialised Toys, Technology and Training initiative. The collection is designed to offer support to children and adults with learning difficulties, disabilities or more significant needs. This specialised collection of toys and other resources is available to borrow from our libraries.
The collection was chosen by the staff of Meath County Council Library Service in partnership with therapists and other professionals working in the community. Items in the collection are available for lending in Meath Libraries to appropriate groups/individuals.
As part of the initiative, we will host an annual series of free lectures, recordings and workshops. For up to date details of future talks and events relating to the TTT initiative please follow us on social media and/or subscribe to our regular library newsletter.
We are delighted to announce that we are now subscribing to The Fact Factory Audio Magazine, the world’s first audio magazine for visually impaired children!
The ‘Tony the Turtle’ series of books is written by Valerie Sheehan and illustrated by Susan Meaney. The books have been created for parents and teachers of children who see and feel the world differently. They offer tested, positive strategies to support both adult and child. They empower parents/teachers to manage everyday activities that the child may find challenging and overwhelming, making daily tasks easier for everyone. Tony the Turtle also gives the child a voice and a character to identify with.
