People with disabilities say video games offer them an avenue for making vital community and social connections. Yet game developers generally have been slow to make the games accessible, citing expense, scheduling pressures, and just plain ignorance.Technology allows gamers with disabilities to “have a community that they build and have meaningful relationships with other people outside their home,” said Nissa Ludwig, a top-ranked bass player in “Rock Band.”
“And they continue working on social skills, and they don’t lose the ability to find joy in other people, which I watched my grandparents do as they were shut in,” she said. Ludwig has a progressive metabolic disorder that makes it difficult to walk.
