Information panels
- Modern thinking about disabilities
Disability is not the "problem:
- Most people who wear glasses don't say, "I have a problem seeing." They say, "I wear/ need glasses." The glasses are a tool.
- Similarly, people who use crutches don't say, "I have a problem walking." They say, "I use/need crutches." The crutches are a tool also.
Changing the Image of Disability
The Future
- People with disabilities have been shunned, ignored, or feared.
- They have been portrayed as:
- • Helpless victims,
- • Repulsive,
- • Heroic in overcoming tragedy, and
- • Charity cases.
Virtual ability community
Founded in 2007 in Second Life and still active there, we offer peer support and a community enriched with educational, social, and entertainment opportunities. We also work with professionals to conduct evidenced-based virtual world research.
