About the Session
Disability Simulation games aim at giving all the participants a better understanding of the real-life experiences of persons with disability and help to generate empathy and inclusive attitude towards persons with disability.
There are a variety of games customized for different disability types. All of the activities require the participants to use the sense organs which a person with the respective disability uses along with the use of assistive technologies or devices.
Agenda of the Session
- Awareness Games for visual impairment: Includes activities like cracking a message written in Braille and identifying objects with a blindfold which exposes the participants to visual impairment.
- Awareness Games for Hearing Impairment: Setting up a sign language booth and solving a crossword in Indian Sign Language are some of the examples of the activities included here. This is a great learning experience for the participants and enables accessibility for persons with hearing impairment at the workplace.
