As independent museum professionals, it’s essential for us to know how we can help our clients meet—and exceed—accessibility requirements, creating better, richer experiences for all. Part presentation and part discussion, this webinar will help you learn how to make your projects accessible to the widest range of people. Our speakers bring deep expertise and experience.
Valerie Fletcher is Executive Director of the Institute for Human Centered Design. She’ll talk about Inclusive Design’s role in creating a physical and digital world that is more equitable, that anticipates risk, minimizes limitations, and honors our interdependence across the spectrum of ability, age, and culture.
Cheryl Fogle-Hatch, PhD, is founder of Museum Senses. She’ll discuss her work researching and developing multisensory experiences for museums and other cultural organizations. By creating exhibit content with tactile and audio components, she believes, we can more fully engage visitors who are blind or have low vision—and that by exposing people who are sighted to tactile and audio content, we can create better, and more integrated, experiences for everyone.
