Inclusion Programming and Universal Design Workshop

Are you ready to serve visitors with all abilities?

Wednesday, March 24
10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
African American Museum of Iowa
55 12th Ave SE, Cedar Rapids

Whether you work with a farm, museum, historic site, or park; we all strive to offer our visitors the best experience possible. We should plan for the inclusion of people with special needs from the beginning. This session will cover philosophy of inclusion, respectful accommodations and supporting positive behavior. Learn the best practices to engage audiences in positive participation at your facility. We will also look at the basic principles of Universal Design in creating environments, products and communications within the workplace. Participants will find out how to design for people of all abilities without the need for adaptation or specialized design. The workshop will be presented by Susie Lund and David Thomson. Susie is the Inclusion Director with the Family YMCA of Black Hawk County and is a trainer of Kids Included Together (KIT). David is the Outdoor Recreation Planner and Midwest Region Accessibility Coordinator for the National Park Service.
