Hi! you might try Becca Fuller, in Winston Salem, NC  ph.910/722-4250.
Also Amanda Hughes, Houston, ph 713/524-0800.  Both have done extensive
outdoor exhibit development and interpretation and frequently are
involved in insuring accessibility to all when developing elements of
the site plan.  Linn
