Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

Ellen as you know a number of years ago Alan Friedman and the NY Hall of
Science developed audio tours of several exhibition specifically for
visually impaired visitors.

So yes a discussion of presentation techniques of foreign language text in
exhibitions  is good and awareness raising but I think this is a small part
of a discussion of ways of including visitors with a range of needs or
disabilities to our museums and ehibitions.
