Hello. I am new to this site. I am not deaf or hearing impaired. I am an astronomy educator who wants to make astronomy and space science more accessible to everyone.
I am writing a book about accessible astronomy and I do not want to leave out the deaf community. I need your help.
I would like to know if anyone here has attended an evening session at an observatory (viewing the night sky with a telescope) or attended a planetarium show. I am interested in your suggestions on how to make observatories and planetariums more accessible to people who do not hear.
Most of the people who run public observatories and planetariums are hearing and do not know ASL, but would like to know what else they can do. I would like to share with them, your suggestions so that they can make their programming better for everyone.
Sincerely,
Noreen
