Disability simulations, also known as empathetic modeling, range from wearing your arm in a sling to getting around using a wheelchair for a period of time. The idea of these simulations is to let able-bodied people experience what it’s like to have a disability, whether that’s visual impairment or paraplegia. 2, record 1, English, - disability%20simulation
