Inclusive Storytime with Ms. Pearl

Inclusive Storytime is back at People's Book Takoma Park!

Neurodiversity is welcome at People’s Book! We invite all friends and families to Ms. Pearl’s inclusive book reading! We will be reading some of Ms. Pearl’s favorite children’s picture books adapted with visual supports and other langauge accommodations to make storytime more accessible to children with different communication needs. Fidgets and sensory tools will also be made available to support active listening during read-aloud.

She earned her Master’s in Speech Language Pathology from University of South Florida, and Master’s in Special Education from University of Maryland, College Park. She is passionate about inclusive and neurodiversity-affirming practices in speech therapy and education.
