Online Programming for All Learners

As we settle into our new socially distanced reality, online platforms have become the main format for cultural institutions to connect with our audiences. Learn how to integrate best practices for effectively engaging individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities through virtual programming. Our four panelists will share ideas from their professional and lived experiences that will help you reimagine online programming–not as a substitute for in-person experiences–but rather as a dynamic opportunity to engage with your audience in new ways. We will use the lens of museum programming when focusing our discussion, with the following general takeaways applicable to all types of cultural organizations:

• Visual communication strategies and different engagement techniques,
• Tips for engaging the physical environment and caregivers,
• Tools and considerations for materials preparation.
