Accessible Tours are offered on select Tuesdays when ICA Miami is closed to the public, at no cost. The museum's trained educators work with you on content accommodations and modifications based on your group's needs. The museum offers them for kids, adults and senior groups, and two weeks' advance reservation is required: email accessibility@icamiami.org, and an educator will contact you to talk through your group's needs.
A social narrative to help guests is available before you visit. To get it, email accessibility@icamiami.org, the address the museum gives for accessibility requests and questions.
The museum offers the kits for visitors with Autism Spectrum Disorders or Sensory Sensitivities.
