Programming for People with Special Needs: A Guide for Museums and
Historic Sites will help museums and historic sites become truly
inclusive educational experiences. The book is unique because it
covers education and inclusion for those with both intellectual and
learning disabilities. The book features the seven key components
of creating effective programming for people with special needs,
especially elementary and secondary students with intellectual
disabilities: *Sensitivity and awareness training *Planning and
communication *Timing *Engagement and social/life skills
*Object-centered and inquiry-based programs *Structure *Flexibility
In addition, this book features and discusses programs such as the
Museum of Modern Art's Meet Me program and ones for children with
autism at the Transit Museum in Brooklyn as models for other
organizations to adapt for their use. Its focus on visitors of all
ages who have cognitive or intellectual disabilities or special
needs makes this title essential for all museum and historic site
professionals, especially educators or administrators, but also for
museum studies students and those interested in informal education.
