ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

Hi-
Our museum is currently developing an exhibit for children ages 3-8 yrs. old. We are looking for standard heights used for activitiy placement in an exhibit. There will be a variety of activities at different levels. Such as stand up table tops, seated table tops, water tables, and walk up to activities. We would like to also take in to consideration wheelchair access for children in this age range. Is there a percentage of overall activities made available to disabled children? What is a good balance for both height ranges? Is there any resource information available or documentation that others have used to develop exhibits that address this issue? Any information is greatly appreciated!
