    What is it like to live with a physical or learning disability? Access/ABILITY, a traveling exhibit designed for children ages 5-12 and their families, features fun and engaging activities that show the similarities and differences in how each of us, with or without disabilities, goes places, communicates, has fun, and learns. Visitors will have a chance to learn phrases in American Sign Language, type their names in Braille, try a hand-pedaled bike and take part in a multi-sensory City Walk. Check out the "My Way" kiosks to meet individuals living with disabilities who talk about themselves, their accomplishments, and how they overcome challenges in their lives. This 1,200-square-foot, hands-on disability awareness was created by Boston Children's Museum and is sponsored nationally by MetLife Foundation. The exhibit is sponsored in Philadelphia by the Widener Memorial Foundation in Aid of Handicapped Children and Inglis Foundation.
