Access/VSA — formerly Very Special Arts — was founded in 1974 under the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and has grown into an international programme with affiliate sites in more than 50 countries. Their founding belief is that all people with disabilities deserve equal access to arts education, cultural facilities, and careers in the arts. The programme encompasses direct programming, artist development, educator resources, and institutional capacity-building.
Access/VSA serves people with disabilities across all ages — from pre-kindergarten arts education through professional artist development. Resources on their website are freely available to educators, artists, families, and arts organisations.
AbleGamers is a nonprofit that combats social isolation for people with disabilities through the power of gaming. They provide free custom adaptive controller setups, create developer resources for accessible game design, and run the Accessible Player Experiences (APX) programme to help studios build more inclusive games.
