About

Short seen in her custom made World of Warcraft wheelchair about to tell you how Ability Powered began.What’s Ability Powered all about? Well, it all started with me, Short. I live in a world where I am disabled. I get defined by what I can not do. I get spoken to differently. I get looked at differently. I share a world with people who see my disability before anything else.

I play in a world where I am seen for what I can do. I slay dragons. I rescue princesses. I smile with pride as I top a leaderboard, unlock an achievement, or move up in league play. I play in a world where people donโ€™t see a wheelchair, they just see a gamer. They see my accomplishments. They see my abilitiesโ€ฆ not disabilities.

This is what Ability Powered was founded all about. Here youโ€™ll find guides, tips, articles, and reviews to keep us all playing to the best of our abilities. Here your own tips are welcomed. Here we hope to build a community that enjoys gaming and supports the challenges that sometimes go with it.

Power Up. Game On.

  1. Great site! Thank you for putting this together! I was an avid Xbox fella, then ALS hit. Now I rely Tobii eyegaze for everything. I was looking for mouse only games when I ventured to your site. Do you game with eyegaze?

    • I do use Tobii! I use mostly voice commands and mouse / switches but I use Tobii eye tracking in conjunction with Iris for any game I need eyegaze on!
