Description
This section examines accessible practices in ensuring that museum exhibits and materials are available to persons with disabilities.
Recommendations
| Ensure that museum employees have guidance regarding how to make and provide accessible museum materials. |
| Provide training to museum employees with training to assist variously disabled museum visitors. |
| In order to facilitate maximum accessibility, incorporate alternative forms of communication for exhibits, e.g. audio-descriptors, braille, large print text, tactile exhibits, and/or haptic technology. |
| Ensure the museum's digital content-videos, podcasts, etc.- posted on the internet is accessible. |
| Ensure that digital interfaces at the museum-film showings, kiosks, etc- are accessible. |
| Where printed materials are offered to museum visitors, be prepared to provide alternative formats for blind or visually impaired people. |
Training
Leads should take the training themselves, then assign it to those employees in their unit for whom they believe it is relevant. Assigning to all employees is recommended. Any processes, procedures or protocols recommended for development in the training should be created.
