Description of the performance / Activity:
This initiative, framed in the Jarcultur project within the INTERREG program, has been promoted by the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Government of Castilla y León and developed by a multidisciplinary team coordinated by the Castilla y León Autism Federation. It is an Easy Reading resource that incorporates multiple visual aids and other measures aimed at facilitating access to information, and thus understanding and interaction with the environment. As a notable point we emphasize the incorporation of messages focused on detail with marked sensory weight and a great equivalence with the spatial tour that is carried out during the visit. However, the primary consideration of this project is the active participation of people with autism in the development of the guide, both in the content validation phase and in its translation into different languages.
