VERSE: Piesano’s Restaurant Experience<\/h2>\n

This project is located around the premise that virtual environments can be a safe space to rehearse and practice skills; especially for people who might find exploring the real-world activities anxiety-inducing and worrying.\u00a0 After all, not all places are attuned to people with neurodiversity.\u00a0 With this in mind, we have collaborated with our local autistic community to co-design apps that might help enable, and support, access to a range of environments. By working with local communities, we also aim to educate and help to make the \u2018real-world\u2019 more inclusive and understanding.\u00a0<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_text=”Visit Microsite” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”19px” button_text_color=”#7C2D2D” button_icon=”5||divi||400″ button_icon_color=”#7C2D2D” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”10px||30px||false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”contain” background_position=”top_center” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/education.ufl.edu\/eltl\/files\/2022\/03\/Robotics.png” title_text=”Robotics” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Roboto|700|||||||” header_3_font=”Roboto|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#7c2d2d” header_3_font_size=”21px” header_4_font=”Roboto|700||on|||||” header_4_font_size=”16px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” header_2_text_color=”#7c2d2d” header_2_font_size=”21px” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
