The Please Touch Museum has a hands-on exhibit that goes beyond your typical disability awareness experience. Yes, you can ride in a manual wheelchair, and try your hand navigating a "multisensory" city walk. But you can also learn some sign language, create art using touch and sound, and try a hand-pedaled bike. In other words, you're not just looking at the negative aspects of a disability, but also exploring different ways of doing things.
And best of all, they include a universal design feature: "Experience design challenges, discover multiple ways to accomplish tasks and learn how things can be designed to work for the largest number of people" January 22 - Apriil 24.
