What Special Effect is doing, is truly a wonderful thing, I do believe that those with physical disabilities should experience what it's like to do certain things in life, and I think that gaming is one of the most wonderful things, because there's just too many games and so, a lot of gaming content to have fun with!
And I think that this initiative will also help them greatly when it comes to dealing with their difficulties everyday, it will make them feel just like everybody else, and they should feel like that, because we are all human =)
As for where they should expand? I think that it would be nice to see the elderly participating on this as well, not just those with disabilities, :D

My idea would be to try start working directly with developers to make their games more accessible. Perhaps some sort of free advice to help them modify their games to make them work better for different people.

I agree 100% with this iniciative because no one deserves to stay out of something (in this case playing videogames) because they have a limitation. I would love to see some giant tech company support this iniciative!

SpecialEffect is a great charity and I think it's wonderful there's so many people involved in it. I'd love to see more partnerships with popular brands like EPOS to raise awareness even more about the amazing things that can be done for gamers with disabilities.

It is really nice to learn about Special Effect, I respect your work immensely!
I believe getting to work with hardware developing teams would be a step towards easier access to gaming.
Also, having volunteering teams in other continents (however difficult that is) could help grow your services worldwide.
Thank you for your support to those in need and for the givaway ofcourse! Good luck to all!

It is super cool what specialeffect is doing. I think anything to expand knowledge about this cool charity is a positive thing. Whether that be partnering with streamers and developers or just the streams that already run.

Thanks for raising awareness @MHaag and giving me a chance to contribute feedback. I never heard about yall until today, when I received an email summary from this forum. Good job on the outreach.
  • It's cool to see a charity take initiative with a personalized approach to helping others. It doesn't seem generic like most charities I see (ie. help poor kids in Africa, save dogs from pound).
  • I'd like to see charity expand in the future by having a heavier emphasis on strategy gaming (like Age of Empires, C&C and R.I.S.K.) and less on violent games like FPS and perhaps even creep it's way into the USA. somehow. 😉😜🗽
  • Here is my feedback: https://www.evernote.com/l/AM-sGL2P7bRIpbFYbE43gbo4Uwo0RrZGnLw/
Best of luck t your organization and I hope SpecialEffect hit's their goals and milestones even sooner!

I think it is important that this charity highlights how capable people with disabilities are, especially when given the right tools. Gaming can be an activity that connects people together from all walks of live and I'm glad there are people out there actively trying to enable disabled gamers to better interact with our huge community.

I am happy there are charities that help people with disabilities to game as everyone needs to be able to get lost in the fun of play. As a person with a muscle disorder I am glad some new technology is making my life easier. I will be buying a foot pedal soon so I can use push to talk for gaming with fiends. My fingers aren't great at holding down keys. I would love if the charities could help with low interest loans for those that might not qualify for total help in their program. Living on a fixed income makes it super hard to buy items to improve my life.

I think this initiative is great. As a teacher I work with children with physical disabilities every day. Inclusion into social aspects outside of school or even access to hobbies is something that is often overlooked. Keep up the great work!

I had a Sennheiser HD555 and a Momentum earphones for mobile, greatest pleasure for the ears. It's not plastic, but metal alloy.

It's nice to help people overcome obstacles in their lives, no matter which nice way you choose to do so.
I think I'd like to see projects that help the elderly and poor people to learn about technology, because it's more and more part of our day.

The work SpecialEffect are doing is wonderful, the one special night was great fun to listen to all the speakers. unfortunately missed out on my luck with the raffle...
It'd be interesting to see what they could do to help those with less-physical disabilities (e.g . more severe cases of dyslexia), whether that can be done through the use of controllers/screens or through education of game developers.
