I have genuinely found the various postings re. simulation exercises interesting. Opinions, though divided, do seem to be in favour. One issue that has gone entirely ignored in my previous posting was making contact with local disability organisations. Irrespective of opinions on simulation exercises, building links between representative organisations and cultural/educational facilities appears to be useful for all concerned, whilst also enabling local disabled people to voice their opinions. Your experiences and opinions are interesting, but can we please try and remember that there is a disabled community out there - it is always good to consult 'primary sources'!
