Museums for all
Building on scientific and technological advances in neurodevelopment, the “Museums for All” event aims to promote inclusivity in museums for children and neuroatypical individuals with associated learning disorders (dyspraxia, dyslexia, ADHD).
More generally, it aims to raise public awareness about these disorders, inform about the latest solutions for early diagnosis, and guide towards the most appropriate therapies.
The “Museums for All” event also aims to encourage space design students to develop innovative solutions in inclusive design.
