Benalla Library Social Story
Social Story
Benalla Library has introduced a Social Story to create a more inclusive environment, reducing barriers for neurodiverse patrons. This tool uses accessible language and visuals to help individuals navigate the library with confidence, providing detailed information about the library experience, including travel directions and building layout. Visitors are encouraged to read the Social Story two weeks in advance to better prepare for their library visit.
