People First: Interpreting For People With Disabilities

10:00a Pacific/1:00p Eastern (90 MINUTES)
 
Visitors attending programs should feel inspired, including visitors with disabilities. Certain techniques apply: treat people respectfully, use “people-first language”, use descriptive language, and tactile objects. Technology such as tablets and assisted- listening devices can also provide an inclusive interpretive experience.

Lori Brosnan has worked for the NPS at Alcatraz Island for 29 years & teaching and interpretation. In June 2012, Lori was certified as an accessibility trainer so that Alcatraz would be an inclusive experience for all visitors.

Jim Nelson has worked as an Interpreter for the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy for 19 years. He loves bringing the stories of Alcatraz alive for park visitors. Jim has underdeveloped optic nerves, which resulted in "low vision." He has used this knowledge to teach interpretation for several years and accessibility for nearly four years.
