Children with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing issues or who are differently-abled are welcome to attend online movement and reading programs in November with the Schaumburg Township District Library. Register at SchaumburgLibrary.org/Events to receive the Zoom link and Program Kit.

"Autism Movement Therapy" for three to eight-year-olds will take place from 5:30-6 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 3 and 17 and Dec. 1. This movement program is led by Wanda Lee Farnell, Autism Movement Therapy Certified Provider, and is designed to support problem solving, speech, social, gross and fine motor skills through movement activities and a craft.

"Adaptive Book Explorers" for children ages five to eight years will be held from 5-6 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 23. Library staff will read aloud and children will discuss and complete activities based on the book, Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story by Kevin Noble Maillard.
