I see that you are in Old Saybrook.  Does your student have a card for the Acton Public Library?  I just checked and they include Hoopla audiobooks among their offerings.  I did a quick catalog search, and there seem to be quite a few (over 1000) middle-grade sports-related books (fiction and nonfiction) available.  I'm a big believer in school/public library collaboration--case in point right here.

Hello everyone,
I have a middle school teacher (6th grade) that is looking to help a student access audiobooks about sports.  His parents purchased a subscription to audible.  He has something in his 504 but he is not visually impaired. He has ADD/ADHD.

I was going to purchase some books on overdrive but as we know those can get super expensive and limited, especially for audio.

I've looked at researchitct.org as well and it seems somewhat difficult. 

Any advice?
