IDEA Cafe: Disability Inclusion at Gardens
Test your accessibility knowledge while hearing first-hand accounts of people who have come together at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) to create more inclusive experiences for visitors. Join advisors, consultants, and staff from BBG, to learn about practical steps that public gardens can take to welcome people with disabilities. Through a trivia game format with interview segments, this workshop will highlight case studies from BBG’s multi-year effort that has engaged disability advocates and advisors in the development of staff training workshops, accessible wayfinding tools, resources, and more. At the end of the workshop, participants will reflect on and share their efforts to advance disability inclusion at gardens across the country. ASL interpretation will be provided.
