What does a visit during a museum lesson look like?
People with intellectual disabilities may have difficulty understanding some of the information. They may also tire more quickly from the strain of having to do a lot of walking.
The lesson "Difficult - simple words" is tailored to meet the needs of people with intellectual disabilities. The guide speaks in simple language and does not use difficult words. They narrate the camp's story without overwhelming with excessive details.
They also make sure everyone in the group feels safe and not afraid, even if there are lots of other people visiting the Museum.
