About
AbleGamers Charity has spent over 20 years working to ensure that gaming — one of the most powerful tools for social connection — is available to everyone regardless of disability. Research they cite shows that people with disabilities are 51% more likely to be socially isolated than their non-disabled peers, making accessible gaming a genuine public health issue. AbleGamers was among the first organisations to treat gaming access as a civil rights concern.
What It Offers
- Direct equipment support: AbleGamers identifies, configures, and ships custom adaptive controllers and peripherals to individuals with disabilities at no cost.
- Accessible Player Experiences (APX): A framework and set of resources that help game developers build accessibility features into their titles from the ground up.
- AbleGamers Partners: Industry partnerships that bring accessibility expertise into major game studios.
- Community building: Events, social initiatives, and online communities designed to keep people with disabilities engaged and connected through play.
Who It's For
AbleGamers serves gamers of all ages who have physical, mobility, or cognitive disabilities that make standard controllers difficult or impossible to use. Their work also benefits game developers, studios, and accessibility advocates who want to build more inclusive gaming experiences.
