Long Island Children's Museum

The Long Island children's Museum will collaborate with community professionals and organizations to reach, engage and better serve visitors with physical and developmental disabilities. The museum will form an advisory committee, participate in communities of practice, augment staff training, improve navigation of a museum visit, enhance programs that facilitate fuller engagement, expand website offerings, prototype modifications to the facility/exhibits, create a customized marketing and awareness plan, and develop a guiding document for accessibility for future plans. The museum will use their theory of change model for the project in order to integrate assumptions and strategies and to measure project results. The initiative will improve museum experiences for families with children with disabilities, schools and community organizations, and increased awareness of the museum as a welcoming and accessible institution.
