Chicago Museum of Science and Industry is working with the Institute for Human Centered Design to do a comprehensive and holistic review of their facility and programs. We are looking for User/Experts from the greater Chicago area to work with us on reviewing the museum. A user/expert is a person who has developed experience by means of their lived experience in dealing with the challenges of the environment due to a physical, sensory or cognitive functional limitation or disability. We are looking to recruit both local primary user/experts as well as “secondary" user/experts who can be a friend, spouse, family member, service provider, therapist, teacher, or anyone who has extensive experience sharing life with primary user/experts and paying close attention to the interface with their environments. 

In addition of having a free day at the museum all user/experts will receive a stipend for working with us as design consultants. 

To learn more please contact Willa Crolius at wcrolius@ihcdesign.org or call 617-259-1655.
