Hi Sandra:
I am Eleanor Robinson, COO 7-128 Software. We make family-friendly,
casual games that are as accessible as we can make them. They are
"games for everyone".
I have spoken at the Games for Health Conferences and have been active
in trying to promote accessibility in games. Stephanie Walker from
AbleGamers and I did a white paper this spring titled Gaming on a
Collision Course. We tried to make a case that as the current
game-playing population aged, there would need to be accessibility
accommodations included in games to help the expected 40% of the over-65
age group that would have one or more disabilities. This would also
help the non-elderly disabled as well.
We, at 7-128 Software plan to continue to make accessible games for
computers and maybe other platforms. We will continue to support the
SIG and making accessibility a more common consideration for game
developers to include in their games.
Eleanor
