 These are links to different simulations for different disabilities. They are by no means perfect replications, but they may help provide some insight into some issues that students in the classroom are struggling with. There is no way that a simulation can help explain what it is like to be a student that is dealing with one of these disabilities day in and day out. There is also no way to simulate the social and emotional feelings of such students. The emotional complications are always an important, if not the most important, issue in positive inclusion of students with special needs into the classroom.
