Disability Simulations

This week the counseling team and the graduation coach conducted disability awareness simulations as part of the classroom guidance curriculum. Students participated in twelve different simulations that allowed them to experience some aspect of having a disability in an effort to help them better understand what it is like to live with an impairment. The simulations include activities such as navigating an obstacle course in a wheelchair, doing a faith walk to demonstrate blindness, using sign language and muffled directions to show hearing difficulty, reading a passage that mirrors Dyslexia, completing tasks with excessive distractions to model Attention Deficit Disorder, and completing tasks having lost use of their arms or fine motor skills.
