Our Storytime with Maceo series aims to bridge the gaps between family reading, literacy, and neurodiversity. Maceo, our family’s youngest member, has autism and a speech delay. As a family, we read to Maceo regularly to encourage his love of books and the development of his skills.
Tanya came up with the idea of modeling reading Star Wars-related books to Maceo to become an integral part of our podcast and channel to encourage other families, whether neurotypical or neurodiverse, to read to their children to support their literacy development.
With Maceo soon entering middle school, reading selections will also expand to accommodate his interests and those of the viewing/listening audience too.
