Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well.

My name is Gabby and I am looking to start a formalized effort to provide
support for disabled game developers within the Game Accessibility SIG.
Considering the overlap between disabled developers and disabled gamers, I
feel like this won't be too out of line with the hard work you wonderful
people have already put forth.

To kick this off, I'd like to get your input on how we should start this
endeavor: I feel it is best to gather information on what kinds of
disabilities are represented in the industry and how they are currently
supported (if applicable) to give us an idea of where and how we can make
improvements to best effect. I also believe that creating a safe space for
disabled game developers and our allies to talk in a confidential,
supportive environment would be of great benefit for brainstorming more
solutions.

I'm very excited to hear all of your opinions, and to begin working with
you to let the game industry be as inclusive and open to all as the games
we create.

Thank you,
Gabby Taylor
