Making museum spaces accessible for autistic families is incredibly important, but it can be difficult to know where to start.

Whether you want a refresher or you’re starting from scratch, this virtual training session will explore the many simple and practical changes you can make to create a more accessible environment at your museum or heritage site. We will share museum specific examples from a lived experience perspective.

In the webinar, we will cover:
– what Autism is
– what the potential barriers are for autistic families
– top tips for making your site more accessible for autistic families.

This training session will be delivered virtually over two and a half hours (with a short break) by Emily Elsworth. Emily is a late diagnosed autistic adult, who delivers from her own lived experience to help museums make their sites more accessible for autistic people.
