Barriers – The Awareness Challenge [] “Your mission is to wheel (in a virtual wheelchair) through a typical school and identify barriers for people who use wheelchairs. Barriers are things which stop a person from doing things everybody else can do or cause a person to be treated differently because of a disability. There are 24 different barriers, some dealing with the building and others dealing with the "bad" attitudes and behavior of people.” (NOTE: You need to install a player and then download the Barriers file.)
