Consulting and Training

Computer key labeled Access
Consulting 
In approaching an audio description project, I can  advise on the choice of works to be described, the style of writing, the optimal length of audio descriptions. and possible ways to use the descriptions in a museum or other context. 

I can 
work with curators and educators to define needs, conduct research on the content when necessary, write the audio description scripts, and edit scripts based on client feedback.


Training
I can teach staff how to write audio description scripts for recorded audio tours. Or I can edit and advise on scripts written by museum staff.

I can conduct workshops for curators, docents, and volunteers on Disability Awareness and on the use of audio description in live tour settings.
