In this episode of White Canes Connect, we talk to Trish Maunder and Katherine Allen from Philly Touch Tours about how they train museum staff to make their facilities more accessible to blind and low-vision visitors. They also discuss Philly Meetup For The Blind, a social group that meets monthly, and how you can start something similar in your community.
