This is the most innovative bunch of suggestions that I have ever
come across:

 PG> A public building could have ramps arranged in an unusual
     spatial relationship.

 PG> Waterfalls indoors would appeal to blind people

 PG> Feelie sculptures would be a good idea

 PG> tropical birds, or other nature sounds, or unusual 
 PG> which could be coupled with the feelie sculptures

 PG> outdoor scul could feel on a windy day? Most wind chimes

 PG> placed low ... readily observed b and children

 PG> a Japanese garden ... enter into it. fragrant pines

Could other people please comment and add your remarks.

On your idea for a seminar to newly handicapped people.  In my
opinion the hansicapped also include the parents of disabled
people, the recently bereaved/ divorced/ fired ...

The medically handicapped will probably feel awkward appearing in
public.  They may have disabilities that make physical attendance
very hard.
