You might find some help on the Web page of the Linda Lucas Walling Collection of Materials for and about Children with Disabilities. The current address is http://www.libsci.sc.edu/fsd/walling/web/bestfolder.htm
Twentyplus years ago, Marilyn Karrenbrock Stauffer and I published a literature review of research related to libraries and disabilities. Back then we found little that was actual research. I think you are correct that there's still very little today. We need some! Linda Walling

>> Dear BADSL members, (and lib-disability members)
>>
>> I am the student at SJSU working with Lynne Cutler on research into the
>> library needs of children with disabilities. I wanted to introduce myself
>> to
>> you all, and ask for your help.
>>
>> I am currently looking for research or model questionnaires that could
>> inform our methodology and interview tools.
>>
>> Our draft research question is: "How can Oakland Public Library improve
>> its
>> services and outreach to children with disabilities ages 5-13?"
>>
>> Our Objective: To assess children with disabilities' perceptions and needs
>> of Oakland Public Library, along with barriers to access, with the
>> long-term
>> goal of improving services and outreach/publicity.
>>
>> The research will most likely be conducted through focus groups or
>> one-on-one interviews.
>>
>> There are very few research studies out there on the library needs of
>> children with disabilities, and those that exist tend to focus on one
>> specific group (i.e., Leong & Higgins, 2002. Public library services for
>> young people who use wheelchairs in Singapore). In fact, most articles are
>> informal, practice-based advice.
>>
>> If anything comes to mind, I would appreciate your thoughts.
>>
>> Of course, any questions or methods we develop will go through an
>> accessibility review to assure they accommodate different youths' needs.
>>
>> Looking forward to our collaboration,
>>
>> Amy Sonnie
