A story in the Dallas Fort Worth Star-Telegram recounts efforts by some folks to help individuals in the community understand what it is like to have a Learning Disability. They describe two simulations they use. They require that an individual
- Listen “to one person talk, while others to the side were barking at her, creating a distraction” or
- “Trace a picture of a star looking only at a mirror image.”
I am a little skeptical about the effectiveness of these simulations; they seem to be predicated on engendering some sudden insight, and the evidence for their benefits is anecdotal. However, I’m intrigued.
I’d like to create a collection of simulations. Please submit your favorites.
