For many of us, Second Life is a virtual playground of possibilities, a
light-hearted virtual holiday from reality - But for some, it’s a lifeline.
In the United States alone, according to the Congressional Committee
findings for the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), 43 million citizens out
of the total population of about 250 million are disabled. That’s 17%, (one in
five) who have some type of disability. This makes disabled people the largest
minority group in the U.S. In the same way that real life poses
challenges to anyone with disabilities, Second Life does too. How would
your first day in SL have been if you had control of only one finger to type,
or were using voice recognition software to control your computer?
