We have a comprehensive program for individuals with all types of disabilities. Much of our grant activity supports this broad set of programs. We are also the home of the local VSA Arts affiliate. The national VSA Arts office would be a great resource for you. They have developed a guide on accessible cultural programs. If you have any questions feel free to contact me on or off line. Good Luck! Hope McMath Associate Director of Education Site Director VSA Arts of Florida, Jacksonville -----Original Message----- From: Katherine A.

I am attempting to create a list of museums that have programs or other methods of making the museum accessible to visitors with learning disabilities or mental handicaps. I realize that any list I create will not be exhaustive, however, I hope to be able to determine the size, type, or other similarities in museums with these programs. This is the first step in a research project I am completing this year as part of my studies in historic preservation at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, VA. If you are aware of a pre-existing guide to museums with programs for the learning or mentally disabled, or your museum has such a program, please let me know! Thank you for your help.
