ExplorAbility

MetLife Foundation and Association of Children's Museums established the Replication Award, a $10,000 restricted grant, for former Promising Practice Award recipients to create an online toolkit and InterActivity training session so that other children's museums may learn how to create a similar, museum-tested, award-winning program in their own communities.
Promising Practice: Combine the best of what a children's museum and a social service organization have to offer for families with children who have special needs.
Port Discovery Children's Museum's Replication Toolkit, ExplorAbility, is based on its programming developed in partnership with PACT: Helping Children With Special Needs. The toolkit provides sample program components for children with special needs and their caregivers, and ways to evaluate program and partnership effectiveness.
