Resources for Visitors Affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
The Kelsey Museum welcomes visitors of all ages and abilities to enjoy our exhibitions and programs. We offer the following resources to families visiting the museum:
- Sometimes, visiting a new place is difficult. The Kelsey’s Social Story can help families prepare for a visit to the museum—from the parking lot through the exhibits. Families can also download a PDF of the Social Story before their visit.
- Sensory-Friendly Kits can be borrowed to help make your visit more comfortable. Each kit contains headphones, sunglasses, various fidget toys, emotion communication cards, and a copy of our Social Story.
- The Rome Activity Bag is full of different activities for kids of all ages and abilities. Try out Blindfold Artifact ID in front of the Health and Beauty case upstairs, play a game of merels, plan a multicourse Roman dinner party in the Villa of the Mysteries, design a magnetic mosaic, or read the book G is for Gladiator together.
