These programs include tailored tools, technologies, and resources—such as tactile telescopes, audio descriptions, and adaptable educational materials—that enable people with disabilities to engage with the stars and the universe. The goal is to promote inclusivity, ensuring that all individuals can experience and learn about astronomy, fostering shared wonder and understanding of the cosmos.
