Re: Brookfield Zoo Visuals

[Guest guest]

Thanks Laurie. I remember years ago, I 'checked out' their PECs Autism book and

it was very huge and awkward to carry around. At least with their visuals up

there, anyone can print out the pages and make to book easier for her/his own

child's use.

set of a visual schedule originally produced by our friend and fellow advocate

Carol Paske. Thank you Carol and thank you, Brookfield Zoo!

now cleverly added it to their website. Which is great because a) you’ll know

it’s updated every year and you can go through the choices and set the

schedule ahead of arrival at the zoo!

sure others have, too) and today I found it there, filed under Accessibility.

thank you to the zoo, I’m sure any calls they receive will be appreciated and

duly noted. It always helps to reinforce desired behavior with a thank you

call, you know. Here’s the number for their ADA Coordinator listed on the

website: Call the Zoo’s ADA Coordinator at (708)-688-8338.
