Accessibility Tools for Guests
Would love to hear about how other museums provide accessiblity tools for guests, such as noise-cancelling headphones, weighted items, fidgets, communication tools.
- What tools do you offer?
- How do you let guests know about their availability? Display case, sign?

- Any lessons learned?
Thank you!
