Our mission is to enable play in order to combat social isolation, and Ability KC’s mission is to build a brighter future for the children and adults with disabilities by providing educational, vocational and therapeutic services, so together we can bring gaming and its benefits to the Kansas City area.

AbleGamers is proud to partner with Ability KC to support adaptive gaming. As part of the Adaptive Computer and Communication Technology program at Ability KC, players acquire and learn about assistive technologies specific to gaming.

AbleGamers and Ability KC work together to help figure out gaming setups that include commercial products as well as 3D printed solutions.

None of this would be possible without you. Help support this partnership with Ability KC, donate to AbleGamers today
