This workshop will be delivered by Aimee Fletcher\, a current PhD Researcher at the University of Glasgow researching ways to make the museum and cultural heritage sector more accessible to autistic and neurodivergent people. \n\n\n\nThe workshop will be divided into 3 sessions: \n\n\n\n\nWelcome and introduction to neurodiversity – getting to grips with current knowledge and understanding (terminology\, history\, how it fits into the wider disability movement how it has shifted recently with increased understanding).\n\n\n\nNeurodiversity in everyday life – highlighting the diversity of experiences and needs\, exploring common needs/barriers\, how this can impact visiting museums – thinking about what the barriers in the workplace are for ND visitors and colleagues\, what could help etc\n\n\n\nSensory audit – this is a practical session to apply what has been learned during the first two parts – we will move around the museum space with a prompt sheet to discuss and record what you notice in the space\, how you think it would impact a visitor\, and what might help.\n\n\n\n\nAgenda: \n\n\n\n9.45am – arrive and coffee/tea and shortbread10am – session 1 – Welcome and introduction to neurodiversity11am – Break\, more coffee if needed11.15 am – session 2 – Neurodiversity in everyday life12.15pm – lunch (participants to bring a packed lunch or 10% discount for attendees in IMAG cafe)1pm – Sensory audit in museum space2pm ENDS
