Description:

This webinar will provide an introductory overview of adaptive video gaming. This will include potential benefits of gaming, particularly for those in the disability community, current technologies and trends, accessibility settings available within select video games, factors we consider during our consultations, and resources that can support individuals interested in learning more or funding technologies. Adaptive gaming is a method of customizing the gaming experience for players with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities. A combination of modified hardware and in-game settings can be implemented to ensure individuals with disabilities can enjoy video games just like everyone else. Attendees will leave with a greater awareness of adapted gaming, its benefits for players with disabilities, and how to seek support for themselves or the individuals they serve. We hope this will ultimately enhance the independence, inclusion, and overall well-being of the disability community.

Hunter McFeron, M.Ed., CCC-SLP

Rachel Scarboro, OTD, OTR/L
