Life skills can be learned virtually. Some adults with intellectual disabilities can be trained to use virtual worlds (Balandin & Molka-Danielsen, 2015; Hall et al., 2011). People with developmental disabilities can learn life skills, such as grocery shopping, through the use of virtual reality (Standen & Cromby, 1995). Persons recovering from traumatic brain injury can learn meal preparation skills in virtual reality settings (Christiansen et al., 1998).
It is clear, reading the above, how useful virtual worlds and environments can be for people with disabilities. What is also clear is that disabled people do tend to make an effort to join those VR, adjust and taking advantage of any opportunities arising from such environments. Apart from those receiving help and guidance, there are also the ones who offer help and guidance. To some, guiding people with disabilities and providing services and information in online virtual worlds, is a vision. They also consider it a mission to enable people with a wide range of disabilities by providing a supporting environment for them to enter and thrive in online virtual worlds. Virtual Ability Inc. is consisted by Real people offering guidance and services to every newcomer in Second Life and supports them all the way during their stay in this Second Life virtual reality.
