MoMA: Disability equality training resources

MoMA is committed to disability equality, and they work to remove physical, programmatic, and attitudinal barriers within the Museum. At the core of this work are disability equality workshops, in which staff reflect on their own experiences, and learn to identify and transform language, attitudes, and behaviors that negatively impact visitors with disabilities. The MoMa Museum training resources include for example many videos.
