Hi Everyone, We have an INCREDIBLE announcement to make. Yesterday, on Global Accessibility Awareness day, @xbox announced the new #XboxAdaptiveController something that our founder Ken Jones and the Warfighter Engaged team worked closely with Microsoft on to conceptualize and create. We are so proud of this and are so grateful that efforts are being made to provide gaming to EVERYONE on such a large scale - something we have been trying to do for a long time. We are so excited to be apart of this mission and can confidently say, this is truly just the beginning of an incredible journey that we will be a major part of. Stay tuned for all of the future announcements we will be making #gamingforeveryone #accessiblegaming #microsoft #xbox #XAC #GAAD
We are here in SLC for AOTA! Swing by booth 927 and let us show you how we get everyone back into gaming! #AOTA18 #warfighterengaged #adaptivegamer #xbox #ps4 #nintendo
While we haven't been the best with our social media, we've been working hard in the lab to create adapted items like controllers for severely wounded veterans. But that's all about to change, we have a new social media manager. So prepare for more content on our pages! Thanks for following us on this mission to make gaming for all! #a11y #gamingforeveryone #thankyouforyourservice
Happy 4th of July weekend from the Warfighter Engaged team
Here's some general info on us: we are a non profit organization with 100% of proceeds going to help those we serve. We help to adapt game controllers or other devices for wounded veterans whose injuries prevent them from doing the things they want or need to. Please visit our website www.warfighterengaged.org for more information or to donate to this cause. Every little bit truly helps. #accessiblegaming #veterans #accessibility #occupationaltherapy #woundedwarriors #gaming #xbox #playstation #give
