At AbleGamers, we are steadfast in our mission to create opportunities that enable play for people with disabilities and improve their quality of life while prioritizing two core objectives: enabling people with disabilities to access video games with ease and empowering game creators and developers to design games with maximum accessibility.
As part of our commitment to a sustainable future for AbleGamers, we have made strategic adjustments to our programs. These changes were necessary to ensure that our resources are devoted to where we can make the greatest impact.
Looking ahead, our efforts will center on empowering even more individuals with disabilities to become leaders in the gaming community. By fostering leadership and representation, we aim to inspire others with disabilities and build an inclusive and accessible future in gaming.
AbleGamers is dedicated to making gaming accessible for everyone, and we thank our supporters for joining us in this important journey.
