This is coming from a disabled individual: I do not find the practice described in the post offensive, as a disabled person, but many people in the disability community actually do find it offensive. I am talking about "simulating" life with a disability, such as from a wheelchair, when you do not have a disability. Many disability related publications may be viewed as "radical" by the able-bodied, but you should take it for what it is. Many of us have lost some basic human dignity and/or respect from others due to just being disabled, and this is how some of the "radical" aspects come about in writing. Anyways, here is a good article why these "disability simulations" are offensive to some: http://www.raggededgemagazine.com/focus/wrongmessage04.html http://www.raggededgemagazine.com/focus/wrongmessage04.html Instead, one should be contacting the diverse disability community (via social media, for example) and consulting directly with them, and actually doing what they ask for, for accommodations. There are many leaders who would be more than happy to help. If you look for them, you will find them, especially via places like Twitter. Also, making apps completely accessible for the blind, from the start, ends up making your app logistically better for everyone too. The same goes for making buildings accessible for various disabilities (curb cuts benefit not only wheelchair users and the mobility impaired, but people with strollers too). Captions not only benefit the deaf. The same goes with making events accessible for people with autism, epilepsy, etc. A lot of this stuff really does not cost more. You just have to consult and ask the disabled community, such as via Twitter. A lot of them would be more than happy to help you, pro-bono.
