Communication Access to the Arts
Duchan, Judith; Jennings, Marian; Barrett, Ray; Butler, Brian
Topics in Language Disorders, v26 n3 p210-220 Jul-Sep 2006
Art galleries, theaters, and museums are often communicatively inaccessible to people with aphasia. This article describes how a group of people with aphasia and a group of health and arts service providers worked together to develop an arts access initiative that involved people with aphasia in accessing museums and arts courses in the community and in organizing and managing their own arts group. Access efforts included the development of materials and methods for (1) making initial contact with arts organizations, (2) setting up information and welcoming stations at the site, (3) organizing communicatively accessible workshops, and (4) evaluating what has taken place.
