For many, flashing neon lights, train whistles and crowds of excited guests are cherished parts of a visit to Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, Greenfield Village and the Ford Rouge Factory Tour.

For adults and children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and other sensory-processing disorders, however, these aspects of The Henry Ford experience can be overwhelming and distressing. Recognizing this, The Henry Ford has collaborated with the Autism Alliance of Michigan since 2013 to “better understand the characteristics of ASD and how to better communicate with someone on the autism spectrum,” said Caroline Braden, accessibility coordinator at The Henry Ford. Initially, this vision manifested in The Henry Ford staff receiving autism training and the creation of downloadable social narratives — pre-visit planning materials, which, Braden said, “use pictures and text to walk families through a visit by describing the sights, sounds, smells and things to touch or taste that they may encounter.” Following the creation of Braden’s position in 2015, she also visited museums known for their ASD accessibility No programs and began researching and developing focused programs for individuals with ASD visiting The Henry Ford. In April 2016, The Henry Ford partnered with the Michigan Science Center, Detroit Institute of Arts, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Autism Alliance of Michigan and The Color Boundaries of Autism Foundation for the first Sensory-Friendly Saturday held on campus during Autism Awareness Sensory-friendly programming adds Month. Since then, The Henry Ford has continued to another layer of accessibility to hold these events on its own, aligning with its overall strategic vision to make its collections, experiences The Henry Ford experience and stories of resourcefulness, ingenuity and innovation accessible to people of all abilities.

Tactile Tours Museum and gallery attractions are heavily reliant on the sense of sight. Generally, labels are used to describe and explain artifacts that guests are meant to look at. As a result, a museum visit can seem like a daunting prospect for blind and visually impaired guests. In an effort to further improve accessibility, The Henry Ford offers Tactile Tours at Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation and has developed customized resources for guests visiting Greenfield Village and the Ford Rouge Factory Tour. Caroline Braden, accessibility coordinator at The Henry Ford, explained: “Our standard Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation Tactile Tour provides background and context on our collections, as well as detailed descriptions and opportunities to touch various artifacts without wearing gloves — including the Rosa Parks Bus, Dymaxion House, Allegheny Locomotive and Build a Model T — and select cars in the Driving America exhibition while wearing gloves.
