AbleGamers is a 501(c)3 non-profit that strives to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities through the power of video games. The charity was founded by Mark Barlet and Stephanie Walker in 2005. Today, AbleGamers grants accessible peripherals to people with disabilities worldwide and works with developers to make video games more accessible. “I believe that there is nothing more powerful for people with disabilities than the freedom that only video games can provide,” said Barlet, the President of AbleGamers. “It's an art form that allow us to all run, jump and be whatever we want to be.”
