This is the most innovative bunch of suggestions that I have ever
come across:
PG> A public building could have ramps arranged in an unusual
spatial relationship.
PG> Waterfalls indoors would appeal to blind people
PG> Feelie sculptures would be a good idea
PG> tropical birds, or other nature sounds, or unusual
PG> which could be coupled with the feelie sculptures
PG> outdoor scul could feel on a windy day? Most wind chimes
PG> placed low ... readily observed b and children
PG> a Japanese garden ... enter into it. fragrant pines
Could other people please comment and add your remarks.
On your idea for a seminar to newly handicapped people. In my
opinion the hansicapped also include the parents of disabled
people, the recently bereaved/ divorced/ fired ...
The medically handicapped will probably feel awkward appearing in
public. They may have disabilities that make physical attendance
very hard.

I read with interest your remark that the physically disabled are
rarely seen out and about.
On occasion, I've wondered if some separatism might not be a good idea.
Are there any resorts especially built to accommodate various
disabilities?
In Southern California, we had one developer who built a whole
neighborhood of housing specifically for dwarfs. Everything was
designed with that specific group in mind. It was a great hit. A lot of
those people said they'd never felt so comfortable in their home
before.
I wonder if this idea would fly with other groups?
