By including a visual story on your website, you can help a range of visitors, including families, to plan their museum visits.   Sam explains, “Visual stories act as both a way-finding tool and a reassurance, as they help eliminate the unknown of visiting somewhere new. For many people with neurodivergence or high levels of anxiety, visual stories can be very helpful in removing the fear factor of entering an unfamiliar place.”  During this virtual training event, we will:  find out why visual stories are important for a range of families to help plan their visits, learn how to create a visual story and how to present it on a website, think about how to test a visual story with families.
