Dr. Hutson's presentation will cover how the democratization of access to cultural heritage stands as a pillar of societal progress, it becomes imperative for institutions to adopt a framework of inclusivity that transcends traditional boundaries. She will also delve into the nuances of Inclusive Design within the realm of cultural heritage, with a focused lens on sensory processing and neurodiversity. Drawing upon a rich array of interdisciplinary research and practical applications, this session aims to equip organizations with the knowledge and tools necessary to reimagine their spaces, exhibitions, and programs through an inclusive lens. Participants will explore a variety of strategies and best practices for integrating sensory-friendly experiences and neurodiverse-friendly approaches into their institutions.
