Research on Museum Social Education Based on the Concept of Inclusive Education for Children with Special Needs: A Case Study of Overseas Chinese Museum

Abstract

This study investigates the application of inclusive education principles in museum social programs targeting children with special
needs, using Overseas Chinese Museum (OCM) as a representative case. Through theoretical analysis combined with field observations and
documentary research, this paper explores how cultural institutions can implement universal design strategies to accommodate diverse learner
groups. The findings demonstrate that multisensory exhibition designs, personalized educational approaches, and staff training significantly
enhance accessibility while promoting intergenerational understanding. Challenges persist in resource allocation and professional development areas. This research provides empirical evidence for advancing inclusive practices in China's cultural venues and offers actionable recommendations for policy makers and educators.
