ACHF Arts Education
Quantitative: 24 youth with autism under age 18 will participate in this project, and more than 100 Minneapolis Institute of Arts staff (e.g. arts educators, docents, and security staff) will receive training on how to be inclusive and supportive of museum visitors with autism or related disabilities, and their families. Qualitative: 100% of attendees will learn about appropriate behavior in, and engagement with, an art museum - most for the first time - as well as experiencing hands-on arts-making projects. At the same time Minneapolis Institute of Arts staff will gain a better understanding of autism, its challenges, and how to help someone with the disorder, who may be experiencing distress inside the museum. In addition to a participant count, each participant and his/her parent/caregiver will complete a project evaluation, which will indicate their satisfaction. We will also conduct post-project evaluation with arts-education staff and other support staff working on this project through our arts partner, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
