The Designed outcome consists of a Sensory-stimulation based map, visual cue cards, tangible sensory evoking cards and a Virtual Reality experience of spaces shown in the map. Development of the project has been tested, overlooked, filled in gaps required from the point of view of materiality, motor skills, visual language and hierarchy for ease.

Designing the Pre-visit Experience Serves as a tool of engagement, capturing the imagination, building communication between child and caregiver setting goals for a visit.

Future of Project

When I happened upon the parents of a special needs child during a museum tour in London, I  started reading about it, a new goal was formed: to find a way to shape experiences for people who think and learn differently. To have a better museum experience for both children and their families,  studies and my viewpoint on new possibilities about how adjusting context usage, looking at user motivation, and developing resources that include technologies might help people with cognitive and learning disabilities.  The prospect of making modifications in the current museum situation to grasp all is on the thrive is currently being discussed with the Science Museum and British Museum London teams. If persons with ASD benefit from museum visits in the future, we must continue to recognise and use innovative inclusion tools and adaptive techniques.
