Hi Mary Anna,

What a great opportunity! I've worked with Jon Sanford and others at the Georgia Tech Center for Inclusive Design for guidance around exhibit design and things to consider - he (and their wider team) would be a good resource and may be able to either work directly with you on the development process or direct you to others closer to your location.

Best,
Michele

Dear Colleagues,

I am working with a non-museum client to develop a visitor center for the general public and for their specific client base.  Many of whom have a disability.  I'd like to plan to meet the needs of their clients in as many ways possible.  Could you recommend an ADA Consultant who could guide me through the development process?

Thank you,

Mary Anna

Hi Mary Anna,

We worked with Accessibility Consultation and Training Services (http://actservices.us/index.html ) at ZooTampa. I highly recommend Mark Trieglaff and he has local ties to Clearwater.

Hi Mary Anna,

Normally architect(s) in the local area of your client are the best resource for ADA input and/or an ADA consultant if needed separately.

Best regards,

Hello Mary Anna,

While we are not ADA consultants per se, we have done a lot of work in the ADA community for multimedia and audio visitor engagement.  Most recently, we are finishing an all inclusive tour for the new National Museum of the US Army and have won top 2020 GLAMi award for our project with Andy Warhol in Italy called Unmute Art.  Please contact us if you need something particular in this area.

Thank you.

Hi Mary Anna,

I am an accessibility consultant as well as a curator (graduate degree and experience in both fields respectively).  I would be happy to discuss ADA compliance as well as other helpful access considerations which standard ADA practices often miss.  The visitor center sounds like a great project, and I'm glad to hear they are planning for their clients' access needs in advance - as it should be!

All best,

I have not read all the responses so this may have been suggested. I would look to a local university.  I am from Illinois and th ui has a great rehab department. In fact, Tim Nugent, a guru of accessibility was there. Sadly he has passed. But there are a plethora of people who could consult from there. Any university that has such a program should be able to help.
