Well, that’s what Virtual Ability is about. It helps people with mental disabilities to come into the worlds, and be successful with them.

VAI (Virtual Abilities Island) is one of Second Life's most heard about places on the grid, mostly because it helps those with disabilities get involved in the virtual world, Second Life.

It is a place where people help people  from all over the world. Currently VAI was recently the subject of a rl documentary Called Login2Life.
