At the Non-profit Commons launch event last month, there was a question about Second Life and accessibility issues. I just saw this press release about the new Accessibility Center on a couple of blogs and thought I should post it here.

On September 9, at 4PM PST, the Accessibility Center will officially open on HealthInfo Island (Teleport SLURL). The Accessibility Center provides continuing education and awareness about disabilities to the residents of and visitors to SL. The information available at the Center includes material about specific types of disabilities, accessibility in electronic games and virtual worlds, as well as assistive technology in the real world.
