Co-Founder & President @ Able Eyes | Virtual Tours for Disabilities Empowerment

🌈 Journey to Confidence at Central Michigan University 🌈 Meet Alex, a dedicated student at Central Michigan University, eager to embrace the collegiate experience. As someone on the autism spectrum, Alex often finds new environments overwhelming, leading to heightened anxiety. The bustling life and expansive layout of CMU's campus initially seemed like a formidable challenge. However, a groundbreaking partnership between CMU and Able Eyes would transform Alex's university journey. Able Eyes has meticulously created virtual tours for key locations on campus, including Park Library, Grawn Hall, Finch Fieldhouse, the College of Education & Human Services, and Wightman Hall. This initiative allowed Alex to embark on a digital exploration of these essential spaces, providing a sense of familiarity and reducing the stress of navigating them in person. For Alex, these virtual tours were more than just a preview; they were a lifeline. Being able to "visit" these spaces from the comfort of home meant that Alex could plan routes, identify quiet areas for breaks, and gain confidence in moving from one class to another. The once intimidating campus now felt welcoming, with each virtual step paving the way for real-life adventures. The partnership between Central Michigan University and Able Eyes highlights the importance of accessibility and inclusivity in education. It's a shining example of how technology can bridge gaps, making the academic environment a place where everyone, including those on the autism spectrum like Alex, can thrive and feel at home. #AbleEyes #VirtualTours #AutismAwareness #Inclusion #Accessibility #CentralMichiganUniversity #CMUChippewas #Empowerment #InclusiveEducation #StudentLife https://lnkd.in/eXpuA3sQ
