Permalink: https://www.eventscribe.com/2019/AAMers/fsPopup.asp?mode=presInfo&PresentationID=490190

As at most museums, the Missouri History Museum’s only real programming for patrons who are deaf was providing an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter upon request. Learn how staff changed that approach by offering more programming, events, and tours for the Deaf community, even with a limited budget.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn practical budgeting tips that take the mystery out of "making something accessible."
• Achieve management buy-in for small to medium accessibility projects.
• Market accessible programs to a new audience.
