While virtual may not be real it can be “actual.” Just as a virtual classroom has actual teaching occurring, a virtual world can have actual communication, socialization, commerce, and learning.


One of the most powerful aspects of virtual worlds for students with disabilities is that everyone’s avatar in a virtual world has the same virtual abilities. Every resident can skydive, run, fly, swim, dance, etc. This move from physical abilities to virtual abilities can have a significant impact on the development of self-identity, shared identify, and community.
