GAME Checkpoints (Gaming Accessibility Made for Everyone) is a program that Josie Versloot and I have led for the last several months. It was an absolute honour to meet and work with so many fantastic gamers, clinicians, and gaming professionals who helped make this happen!

Happy International Women In Engineering Day! #INWED23 I'm lucky to work with great engineers like Josie Versloot and past Eng. students Kerilyn & Kristen, and watch them work and inspire future engineers - and they inspire me too! #Proud #WomenInSTEM #BeLikeJosie

Want to connect an Xbox Adaptive Controller to a PlayStation 5? Barrie Ellis has made a great "how-to" article that you can find on SpecialEffect. This will work for both PS4 and PS5 games. Happy gaming!

Proud to have designed this joystick in hopes to make digital access more accessible! If you can operate a small thumb stick/joystick and need a mouse or gaming joystick check out the Cedar Mini Joystick! #AdaptiveGaming #ComputerAccess #accessibility #a11y

If you or someone you know is looking for a joystick that will work as both a mouse and as a gaming input we got a limited stock to send for FREE! When this stock runs out, we will still have them available for cost of materials/shipping only (just like all of our other devices).
