Lewis River Interpretive & Education Plan Physical accessibility is only part of the accessibility issue—programmatic or intellectual accessibility must also be considered. It does little good to provide physical access to a facility, if displays, brochures, artworks and other aspects of the interpretive program preclude participation. By considering the following categories of persons with disabilities, it is possible to accommodate a very broad range of people: • People with impaired vision. Visitors, whose impairments may range from myopia to blindness, may be accommodated by presenting displays and other printed materials in larger print—fonts should be sans-serif or simple-serif. Appropriate color contrast is also important. In addition, tactile displays, Braille, and audio programs should be considered where appropriate. • People with hearing and speech impairments. Accommodating this group of site users involves the presentation of printed materials. • People with mobility impairments. Although wheelchair users are the most obvious mobility impaired group, it is important to recognize other mobility impairments—many people are elderly or overweight, may have difficulty breathing, or are simply not in good physical shape. Accommodating this group of visitors generally requires ensuring physical accessibility in compliance with ADAAG standards. Exhibits and other displays must allow physical access within appropriate space requirements and accepted reach ranges. • People with learning impairments. People with learning impairments are the most difficult to accommodate. The range of learning disabilities is vast—from severe mental retardation to dyslexia. It may be impossible to accommodate all individuals with learning impairments, but it is possible to serve a broad range of individuals by providing programs that cater to what many professional educators recognize as the four basic learning styles: 1. Innovative learners—people who want to know why; who need the “big picture, and who learn by observation and intuition 2. Analytical learners—people who want to know what; who need to analyze information, and who think through concepts in an organized fashion 3. Common sense learners—people who want to know how; who need practical applications of the information presented (how one thing influences another), and who need to use the information Sea Reach Ltd • 146 NE yamhill Street • Sheridan, OR draft 3 • November 2008 • page 14
Lewis River Interpretive & Education Plan 4. Dynamic learners—people who want to know if; who prefer direct personal involvement when learning, and who prefer a lack of structure For many interpretive specialists the audience analysis feels like “old news,” but the process of designing interpretive presentations—both the conceptual content and the physical structure on any project—require that planners and designers keep in mind the vast range of individuals we call the “visitor.” Sea Reach Ltd • 146 NE yamhill Street • Sheridan, OR draft 3 • November 2008 • page 15
