To those in my mentions saying disability simulations are good: the research shows they’re not! Did it work for someone you know? OK. Does it bother you they needed simulation to listen/care/act? Would you recommend simulating other marginalised identities to increase empathy?https://twitter.com/JessHealyWalton/status/1038255187452805120 …

The most serious bullying my daughter copped at primary school was right after the school went through one of those programs
I'm sorry this happened! Awful twice over - that this was used at your daughter's school & that she was bullied as a result. As an educational tool, the logic is ludicrous - that we can't learn empathy from listening directly to disabled people and practicing basic decency.
