FORT RUCKER, Ala. (June 26, 2015) -- The Exceptional Family Member Program donated over 25 books and DVDs to the Center Library over the last couple of months.

Materials are available for parents, children and professionals. Topics available include sensory processing disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Down syndrome, diabetes gluten-free diet, applied behavior analysis and more.

The Center Library has setup an EFMP section for children. These books can help parents explain to children about various types of disabilities in a way that they can understand.

Sometimes, parents and other adults have a difficult time talking to children about disabilities, especially if it is their own child. Several books may be read by children without adult assistance. Some material is also suitable to teach inclusion and to learn about diversity.

A variety of books are available that will make an excellent resource for professionals and for people writing research papers. The library staff can help people looking for the resources.

Fort Rucker's EFMP serves over 800 active duty military exceptional Family members and these books and DVDs will be an excellent resource for these families and others in the Fort Rucker community.
