The project was initiated in 2004 by the Committee for Library Services for Persons with Special Needs and Disabilities (Crotian Library Association) in co-operation with Croatian Dyslexia Association, Croatian Institute for Librarianship (National and University Library) and IFLA Section for Libraries Serving Disadvantaged Persons. Even though it had been tested and verified on a smaller group of persons with difficulties in reading and writing and with behaviour disorders, the methods and activities applied in this Project should be viewed as an extention of the National strategy of the unique policy for the disabled, the main goal of which is the improvement of the quality of library services for persons with special needs and disabilities in public, school and special libraries such as libraries of the young offenders institutions and penal institutions.
