Accessible virtual worlds existed before VR immersive headsets, and VR headsets aren’t for everyone, other rich environments with a lower level of technology and welcoming communities are necessary to be fully inclusive. The <strong><a href="https://virtualability.org/" style="color:#0675c4;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Virtual Ability</a></strong> community in <strong><a href="https://secondlife.com/" style="color:#0675c4;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Second Life</a></strong> has facilitated the entry into virtual worlds of people with a wide range of accessibility needs since 2007. <strong>Alice Krueger</strong> and <strong>Ann Ludwig</strong> will explain the accessibility options of the new Resident Orientation Course and Sojourner Auditorium on Second Life’s Virtual Ability island, and the platform tools and design principles that lead to an accessible virtual environment.</p>
