As a public charity devoted to improving accessibility in the digital entertainment space, We work with a diverse group of dedicated people and organizations to address problems at their roots and to help make a difference on the widest scale, and to enrich the lives of those we serve.

Accessibility Arcade

We bring technology to those who need it. The leaders of accessible technology work with The AbleGamers Foundation to help provide a one-day free arcade displaying all of the latest and greatest accessible gaming devices. We introduce individuals, who have never seen the technological wonders that engineers can now design, to the types of technology that can help them and their loves ones with maintaining the ability to function at the highest level possible. ..

What is the Accessibility Arcade?

So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.

~Christopher Reeve
The Accessibility Arcade is an interactive event that allows non-disabled people to look at, and experience the gaming world from the perspective of the disabled. State of the art adaptive technology is on display with much of it ready for people to play with. The arcade also offers a chance for disabled people to take some time to play with this innovative equipment, to see if it might be right for them.

What is in the latest iteration of the Accessibility Arcade?

At the moment the AbleGamers Foundation does not own most of the things that we display so the technology changes from event to event depending on what we can get loaned to us. There is a sponsorship opportunity, AGF would like to own the technology so that we can anticipate and produce quality take-ways from the events.
