“They treat us as experts in our own abilities.”

We’ve had the privilege of helping Becky, aka EyeGazeGirl, to enjoy games for over a decade now. She has quadriplegic cerebral palsy which, she says, “makes playing video games quite difficult as I can’t walk or stand or use my arms.”
🚨 TODAY IS YOUR VERY LAST CHANCE! 🚨

The Access Granted sale on Steam ends today, so if you’ve been thinking about checking it out, now’s the time!

Head over to the sale and make the most of it while you still can 🎮💙
