For 15 years, I've been telling people how video games improve the quality of life for people with disabilities

But to really give the maximum effort, I asked my friend @VancityReynolds to help support the mission of @AbleGamers

"AbleGamers.org has been helping people with disabilities in gaming for over 15 years now. They've helped thousands and thousands people all around the world as an international charity, but there are thousands of more people still waiting to get equipment that they desperately need," Reynolds said.
Spohn was one of many people consulted on Microsoft's Xbox Adaptive controller, which was designed to help those with disabilities play games.
The Entertainment Software Association's 2020 report said that of the 214 million Americans that play games, 46 million have disabilities. AbleGamers offers a number of services to help people with disabilities play games, like offering grants for custom controllers.
