Special needs & integrated classrooms

A visit to any of our properties, exhibitions or education services can be a source of information and entertainment for students with special needs. Education programs offered include in-school presentations and guided museum visits. All sessions are planned in conjunction with the classroom teacher so that material is presented in the most appropriate and accessible way.

Prepare your group for a visit with 'Excursion Introductions'. These introductions are suitable for teachers of children with ASD in integrated classrooms:
