You Can Do Astronomy LLC
You Can Do Astronomy LLC is an accessibility design and consulting company with a focus on making astronomy and space science accessible to people with disabilties. It is estimated that 10 million people in North America are visually impaired. A majority of Museums offer little or no accommodations for this population, as many exhibits sit behind glass cases. Museums can make their facilities more welcoming to attract a broader audience through universal design.
Their service offering involves a combination of design and consulting. This includes, but is not limited to, Museums or educational organizations who want to revise their facilities and programming to be more welcoming and accessible, as well as publishers and product developers who are interested in creating materials and programs which truly reach a universal audience. They make astronomy topics accessible through design and production of tactile illustrations. They make planetarium theaters and educational programs more accessible to visitors with disabilities through tactile illustrations, captioning, assistive listening devices and designing thoughtful spaces for people in wheelchairs.
