I'm the voluntary curator of a local community museum. We are already dementia-friendly, many people in our small town are learning Makaton and we are becoming more dyslexia-aware as we gradually replace our signage.
I would like to produce a Welcome Guide for schools and parents and need advice from you - the experts- on what needs to go into it. There are so many things we cannot change like the fluorescent strip lighting but at least we can warn people of what they can expect on a visit.
Any advice gratefully received - Thank you!
I wonder if it's worth contacting the National Autistic Society direct for advice on this? I would imagine they have guidelines for things like their "autism hour" initiative which might be helpful as a starting point at least?
I've registered my business which is next door to the museum for Autism Hour this year so I should be learning more from the National Autistic Society that we can pass on to the museum. Thank you for that.
