  1. Oral Presentation. By: Renaldo Grayson Course: EDSL 0104 Special Services for Adolescents Design an “ideal” library space that will meet the needs of the students in your school.

  2. At present the library doorway is very standard. A wheelchair bound individual would not be able to access the library because of the width of the doorway. Any other disabled person would need assistance to enter. The ideal layout would be wide automatic doors so that someone in a wheelchair would have adequate space to enter. Present Library Pictures

  3. Books are stacked very traditionally on metal shelves. The books are packed right up to the uppermost levels of the shelf making it well nigh impossible for anyone with a disability to access them without assistance. The ideal setup would probably include lower or broader shelves so that the disabled would have easier access to the material. Body of the Library

  4. There is an absence of text reading and text enhancement software on the library’s computers making it difficult for a disabled person to utilize the computers. There is no open book scanner available so that disabled users would be able to hear and see the text read to them. No Braille embosser to convert text into braille for the visually impaired clients.
