Museums and Children With Learning Difficulties: The Big Foot

This title tackles the subject of the benefits of museum visits to children with learning difficulties. The preparation, visit and follow-up activities of six groups of children, coming to the British Museum in 1991, are described and evaluated. The authors also discuss the issues which must be addressed when planning museum visits for special needs children. From their survey, Pearson and Aloysius assemble the lessons learned into a useful summary list.
