Some Things to Consider When Working with Volunteers Who Have Disabilities

Does your Library have the necessary technology and equipment to provide special needs access to computers and the physical environment of the Library?

Are your staff and other volunteers trained in assisting Volunteers with special needs?

Does your Library have a reasonable expectation of what equal access to all aspects of volunteer opportunities means for someone with a barrier to higher level volunteer roles such as Narration?

Do your volunteer position descriptions include persons with disabilities in the language of the established requirements?

Are you willing to take a chance in permitting a volunteer to try something that might seem impossible, or has a high probability of failure?
