Accessibility Assessment and Evaluation
Let Virtual Ability, Inc. evaluate your existing or proposed virtual world venue, club, store or project and recommend ways that you might make it more accessible for participants with a wide range of impairments.
Mentors and Greeters
VAI Mentors are trained to assist those with disabilities who come into Second Life. Mentors provide support as the new resident learns how to create a virtual existence, whether that means going shopping or providing landmarks for different venues such as music. Mentors also assist new residents who have a disability and need to learn what assistive technology and in-world support resources may be available to them.
