Hey #OccupationalTherapy humans (or anyone)! My doctoral capstone student created an incredible way to use tabletop role playing games (TTRPGs) in therapy sessions! I'd absolutely love if you could take a quick look & fill out the survey below!! TIA! pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/f…

Posted this a couple years ago...I'll just leave it riiiiiight here.
Pro tip: Any of us in the #a11y space should be a little more kind to other people in the #a11y space when they’re trying to create content to help others engage more independently. Not cool having people poo on the efforts you make to help people.

There are many wonderful game accessibility nonprofits doing life changing work, from SpecialEffect to Makers Making Change, from NothingWithoutUs to Everyone Can, from CapGame to Warfighter Engaged to the Let's Play Games Project. Don't let the current news distract from that.

Hey X #a11y community! I was hoping you all might be able to help me out. I'm curious what your favorite adaptive gaming switch, button, or joystick is? Or maybe your favorite source to get adaptive gaming accessories is. Hit me with your answer in the comments!

A shift in focus from us @WFEngaged. Thank you all for your years of support.
Bittersweet update from WFE: After years of proudly creating adaptive gaming solutions for veterans, our mission is shifting. While we’ll no longer build custom devices after Dec '24, we’re excited to focus on consulting and clinics. TY for your unwavering support. Details👇🫡

It's crazy that I even have to post this. Long story short, I've been a victim of identity theft for over a decade. Scammer's take my likeness and use it to fraud women around the world. I finally made a video to address it. It is insane! Buckle up because it's a wild ride! Scammer's gonna scam youtu.be/UGqaIaF3HIQ?si=qVEX… via @YouTube

This is quite possibly the craziest thing I’ve ever experienced in the accessibility community space. Like…I have no words.
Over the last several months, I have been investigating rumors that games accessibility advocate Susan Banks, Tubi Hamid, and Deb Vaughan were real people. Here's what I found: ign.com/articles/a-prominent…

Ep 11 is live! @sightlessKombat and I chat about so much fun stuff. #a11y in video games, barriers for blind or low vision gamers, our year's long rivalry (that he dominates), and how gaming is way more than just a silly hobby! #OccupationalTherapy spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e…
