[games_access] Origins of Accessible Gaming Historical search...

[Barrie Ellis]

What I'm searching for:

A paper entitled "Adapting Audio/Video Games for Handicapped Learners" written by Karen Hughes in 1981 (the more than controversial "Year of the Disabled") and published in a journal called "Teaching Exceptional Children". All I have presently is:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Teaching Exceptional Children, v14 n2 p80-83 Nov 1981

Adapting Audio/Video Games for Handicapped Learners: Part 1 (by Karen Hughes)
"Guidelines for selecting electronic audio/video toys and games for children with handicaps are discussed, and information on 13 games (such as "Simon" and "Merlin") is provided. (CL)"


Teaching Exceptional Children, v14 n3 p127-29 Dec 1981

Adapting Audio/Video Games for Handicapped Learners: Part 2 (by Karen Hughes)
"Suggestions are made for using special adaptive equipment to modify audiovisual toys and games for the severely handicapped or to create games to achieve specific purposes. Three board and electronic games and three television games are described in terms of selection factors. (CL)"

If anyone can help with tracking down more on these two papers, I'd be very thankful. Seems like a local US based library may have the answers on microfiche. I've tried e-mailing the author but no luck as yet.

Can I get any geekier? Probably!
