Child/Youth Protection Policy

- What technology already exists in museums for people with autism?
- Where is there a need or a gap that could strengthen their experience?
- What are your thoughts on how museums could be more accessible in that respect?
Any insi...

Rooming Buddy for ACM
Hi Folks!
I will be the only person attending ACM from my museum and was wondering if anyone else was in the same boat and wanted to room together in Saint Louis.
Please let me know or if there are more folks in this same boat- maybe we can set up a contact sheet.
