About the project
Our target audience:
- Adult educators and partner organizations. These educators, by participating in the training sessions, will strengthen their ability to address the challenges related to the inclusion and employability of adults with physical disabilities.
- Adults with physical impairment. These disabilities, whether temporary or permanent, limit a person’s physical ability and/or mobility, preventing them from performing independent activities such as walking or heavy lifting.
Outcomes from the project:
- Physical Accessibility. 86% of participants reported no difficulty playing the game due to their physical disabilities, indicating that the game’s current accessibility features were largely effective.
- Overall Rating. 71% of participants gave the game a rating of 4 out of 5.
