Creative Solutions for Accessibility

Katie Samson (she/her) is the Director of Education at Art-Reach, an organization that advocates for, and expands accessible opportunities for the greater Philadelphia region. In this program, she presents case studies demonstrating how organizations can find unique approaches to advancing access for people with disabilities. From touch tours at archives, to apps that help visitors deeply engage with historic sites regardless of ability, and more, we invite you to find inspiration for your own work in these stories. Following the presentation, you will have a chance to do your own creative brainstorming as a group on how you might deepen accessibility at your institution.
