Section Overview
Participant Goals1. Understand how the
guidelines were developed and continue to develop.
2. Understand and apply the three main concepts.
3. Understand how to use the planning tools.

How were the UD Guidelines developed?
• The guidelines were developed through a design charrette held at the Museum of Science, Boston on December 6 and 7, 2007, on behalf of NISE Net
• (Note: A design charrette is an intensive effort to develop a new or innovative design that takes place over a short period of time. It involves people from a variety of backgrounds and expertise)
• This charrettee included 4 experts from the field of UD who have disabilities and 20 museum professionals from a variety of organizations
![Page 4: Introduction to the Universal Design Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a86550346895dc7f45f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
UD Guidelines: A Working Document
• The UD Guidelines are a working document.• The guidelines are expected to
change as we develop and test more programs that reflect principals of UD.
• The guidelines should not be considered exhaustive.• While they provide many ways to
design a program, every program and situation is different.
![Page 5: Introduction to the Universal Design Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a86550346895dc7f45f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Three Main Concepts
Three main ideas that emerged that can be used by museum educators to frame their thinking while developing and implementing inclusive museum programs.1. Repeat and reinforce main ideas 2. Multiple entry points / ways of
engagement3. Physical and sensory access
![Page 6: Introduction to the Universal Design Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a86550346895dc7f45f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Three Main Concepts
1. Repeat and reinforce main ideas
2. Multiple entry points / ways of engagement
3. Physical and sensory access

UD Program Concept 1: Repeat and Reinforce Main Ideas
Repeat and Reinforce Main Ideas
• Why?• Considerations:
• Developing a Program• Designing Props & Materials• Delivering your Presentation
![Page 8: Introduction to the Universal Design Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a86550346895dc7f45f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
UD Program Concept 1: Repeat and Reinforce Main Ideas
Why repeat and reinforce main ideas?
• Learners have difference preferences for receiving information:• Audial • Tactile • Visual
• Helpful for those with different attention spans or short-term memory.• Can relate to a disability or context of the
situation
![Page 9: Introduction to the Universal Design Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a86550346895dc7f45f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
UD Program Concept 1: Repeat and Reinforce Main Ideas
Considerations for Developing a Program
• Explicitly state and focus on the main idea.
• Break down the program into distinct pieces.
• Be explicit about this breakdown
Lets look at a few slides from the Snowflakes: Nano at its Coolest program
![Page 10: Introduction to the Universal Design Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a86550346895dc7f45f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What do you know about snow?
![Page 11: Introduction to the Universal Design Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a86550346895dc7f45f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Outline• When does it snow?• Why do snowflakes have six sides?• Is every snowflake different?
![Page 12: Introduction to the Universal Design Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a86550346895dc7f45f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
When does it snow?
![Page 13: Introduction to the Universal Design Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a86550346895dc7f45f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
It snows when…• It’s cold (below freezing)• It’s cloudy (water vapor in the air)
![Page 14: Introduction to the Universal Design Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a86550346895dc7f45f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Review• When does it snow?
–Cold, cloudy conditions• Why do snowflakes have six sides?
–Molecular structure of ice crystals• Is every snowflake different?
–Temperature and humidity

Designing Props and Materials
UD Program Concept 1: Repeat and Reinforce Main Ideas
• All information (visual, aural, and tactile) should support one another.
• Have hands-on elements that can be passed around to reinforce main ideas.
![Page 17: Introduction to the Universal Design Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a86550346895dc7f45f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
