Visiting with an autistic child.
The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology actively encourages all visitors to the Museum, including people with autism. We have prepared the following information to help you plan for your visit. We hope that it will help to make your time with us enjoyable.
We have prepared a Visual Story, which is available for you to download or print off to create a Social Story for your child. This is a visual guide which will help your child know what to expect and ease the anxiety often accompanying a visit to somewhere new and unfamiliar. The Visual Story has been designed for you, the parent/guardian, to decide which pages would be most beneficial for your individual circumstances. You can download the Visual Story here.
