Culture Change
Our approach builds on research on organizational culture change. Inclusion thrives when:
Training is Relevant and Timely.
Staff Share Responsibilities.
Organizations Communicate and Collaborate.
Why is Change Needed?
Sustaining a healthy organizational culture of inclusion in our community spaces requires ongoing, responsive support.
In Service to the Public
Many museums, libraries, and organizations are dedicated to broadening access to people of all abilities.
Research-Backed
Data and input from museum staff, advisors, and parents of autistic children informed the development of our model.
Stronger Networks Build Deeper Impacts
NILN connects people to local and national peers to nurture collaboration and momentum.
