Community Support
Connection is at the heart of everything we do. We match players with inclusive gaming communities, host accessible events, and support a nationwide network of hospitals and rehabilitation centers.
At AbleGamers, our mission is about far more than just gaming, it is about connection. Through Play, Connect, and Grow, we start by understanding each player’s individual needs, favorite games, specific challenges, then connect them to inclusive gaming communities and maintain a knowledge base to help everyone explore new games.
We also collaborate with gaming studios and community organizations to host accessible gaming nights, inclusive events, and pioneering accessible esports tournaments, including Adaptive Esports Tournaments with Logitech G and Mount Sinai, offering competitive gaming with real stakes, bragging rights, cash, and prizes exclusively for players with disabilities. Our Powered by AbleGamers network extends this same community-support model into hospitals and rehabilitation centers nationwide.
