Cultural Access New England presents "Access . . . It's Not As Scary as You Think!" at Peabody Essex Museum in Salem MA.
Many museums, historic sites, and other cultural organizations are just starting to understand the necessity of access within their institutions. This introduction will include an exploration of myths and realities surrounding people with disabilities and will strengthen your comfort level enabling you to better serve this audience. An overview of access services, practical tips, scenarios, and legalities of the Americans with Disabilities Act will arm you with tools to make it work!
The museum is wheelchair accessible. For American Sign Language or other accommodations please contact Iwamoto@BostonChildrensMuseum.org by October 8, 2015.
Participants will be welcome to continue networking with colleagues and enjoy the museum after the workshop. The Peabody Essex Museum is one of the oldest continuously operating museums in the United States. It is a successor to the East India Marine Society, established in 1799.
