Purpose

The purpose of this activity, is to allow you to examine, analyze and share your experience simulating the the experiences of people with disabilities. 

This Activity: You will view five simulations of sensory conditions the may be experienced by individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).  When you finish, you will write a reflection on your experiences. 

Note: Those with epilepsy or who are prone to seizures should not watch these videos. Viewers should also be prepared for increased volumes, which are intended to simulate the intense auditory simulation associated with ASD.  If you are unable to view the videos due to a medical condition, contact the instructor for an alternate assignment.
