AbleGamers Foundation and ablegamer.com are the single most effective force in making computer games accessible to gamers with special needs. Mark's influence in the game developer community is demonstrated by the games, including ours, he has caused to be more accessible.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Mark's made specific suggestions as to how to make our games more accessible, especially to the motion-impaired. He's put us in direct contact with users who can give us specific changes to make.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

None. They're doing a great job.

My Role: Client Served & I got a recommendation for a game controller that won't dislocate my thumbs and I've read lots of reviews on games that take my legal blindness into account. Login to send private message

AbleGamers is a nonprofit that I mostly interact with through Twitter and their website. There Twitter feed highlights interesting articles about gaming on other sites as well as letting me know about updates on their site as well. Plus, when I've message them via Twitter I've gotten prompt, personal replies. I mostly use the website for the forums, groups, and game reviews. The groups and forums allow for peer support and community brainstorming. Their reviews actually give me an idea of whether or not I will find a game playable.

I didn't think I should bother investing in a gaming console because I just didn't think I'd get any fun out of it. After finding AbleGamers and reading their reviews, I decided it was worth the risk. I'm so glad I did. I've had fun, become less of a perfectionist, gotten better at asking for help, and am even getting better at using a map.
