Expert Accessibility Styling Tips: December 27, 2006

Judge Robert Florio has graciously let us see the steps he goes through from starting a game until he is finished playing. Robert, a quadriplegic, laid it out for all of us:

1. Ask somebody to grab me a table that will fit my controller & mouth controller. That table has to be the right height and/or be adjustable and so on.
   
2. Make sure I am sitting in a wheelchair that can put me in the right position for the controller to be used best with my mouth. Some wheelchairs don't allow the angle as much manipulation -- Some people
   end up being stuck laying back or straight up with Chairs that allow them to stand upright
   
3. I must have the table readjusted and ask someone turned the TV on and putting the game into the computer/console.
   
4. Saving the game is very important and often times requires many scrolls
   through options to go back to save menus. I will save the game and then
   move away.
   
5. When I am finished someone must move my table and device to a safe area.
   
6. Someone must turn off the computer or console for me.
   

Damn...now that's some hard core love of the game!
