Session 2: Approaching special needs audiences
Physical accessibility is without a doubt a pursuit that is taken seriously by the vast majority of today’s cultural institutions. However, studies show that immaterial barriers such as patronizing behaviors, misconceptions, and stereotyping are still experienced by most groups of special needs visitors. In this dynamic session, speakers will share their best practice examples on how to overcome disabling settings in order to offer barrier-free programs and exhibitions.
