AccessFun
Many disabled children are unable to take part in computer gaming, an experience that is a part of the experience of the majority of their peers. To overcome this AbilityNet have created AccessFun a pendrive made up of games, music, utilities and storybooks for disabled young people. The pendrive offers over 50 applications to entertain and amuse kids of any ability.
Amongst the collection are arcade games for single switch users, games for the blind, animated stories and single switch activated songs. The collection draws upon the very best of what is available on the web and makes it easily accessible through a menu system. Whilst not all resources will work on all computers or with all switch interfaces there really is something for everyone here.
