About The Neurodiverse Museum
Let’s change that
As part of the requirements for the completion of her Masters of Museum Education degree at Seton Hall University, Elaine L. Davis created this guide for museum educators. It is a guide to the best practices for adapting museum education for the needs of people of all ages who have learning disabilities, including those not often thought of as learning disabilities.
Joy in lifelong learning
