ABSTRACT

AbleGamers strives to make sure everyone and anyone can play video games. While that may seem insignificant to the average person, to a person living with disabilities, it makes all the difference. Zane suffers from spinal muscular atrophy a debilitating disease which limits him to communicating with an electronic device using his eyes. His dream was to play Assassin's Creed and beat his brother. Through the joint efforts of Make-A-Wish and AbleGamers, Zane defeated his brother through stealth kills and raced sports cars in Forza

Steve Spohn suffers from the same condition as Zane. But he doesn't let his condition define him. Instead, he uses it as motivation to help others discover the joys of gaming. This chapter covers the efforts Steve and AbleGamers to provide everyone ability to enjoy the world of video games.
