Abstract
Many organisations and institutions in the education sector are now producing simulations of various disabilities in order to give academic staff an insight into some of the barriers disabled people can face in their education. This short paper will highlight some of the simulations designed by John Rousell of Sheffield College for use in accessibility training of academic staff. The paper shows stills of the original animations which can be found on the internet.
