here's an idea
By Sarah

We know that students learn best from their own experiences. Why not try showing the students what it would be like if they had a disability? You could try to have students navigate a course, set up by you, with a blindfold on or a cheap pair of sunglasses with vasaline smeared on them to experience what it would be like to be visually impaired. Or you could have them wear thick, wool work gloves and try to tie their shoes or open a letter. Get them to realize that we all have strengths and weaknesses. Hope this helps!
