[games_access] A chapter on accessibility, video games and learning.

[d. michelle hinn]

Just had a quick scan (I just was asked to write a book chapter...due 
in ten days! Nice notice!) but it looks great and I will be citing it 
along with all the other great stuff that's been coming out lately. 
As I said, accessibility is having it's day all the sudden. I wish I 
wasn't so sick at the moment to enjoy it more (I had to go to 
hospital again today...sigh). But that's how things go!

I like your website too! I was wondering if you'd mind linking to the 
SIG wiki (www.igda.org/accessibility) -- we are working on the 
website overhaul and (get this) the IGDA is FINALLY getting ready to 
roll out their new web 2.0 tools (I don't know if we'll use any of 
them because, of course, we need to be accessible and some of that 
stuff is not). So we'll have a better look soon. Anyway, it's just 
another way for people to find out more, especially developers who 
want to connect with us since we advocate within the industry itself.

Sounds like you've been doing some wonderful work at that school in 
New York -- I'd like to interview you for a web series I've been 
asked to do on people who are out there making a difference in game 
accessibility on the front lines. I'll email you off-list soon about 
that -- I have a few people in the queue right now...whether they 
know it or not. :)
