Exhibit teaches about living with blindness
October 8th, 2008From USA Today:
The “Dialog in the Dark” sensory exhibit, now on display in Atlanta, raises awareness about the experiences of people with visual impairments and sparks conversations about living with disabilities. Guides with visual impairments teach people to rely on their other senses in this exhibit that simulates everyday experiences for one hour in total darkness
