Don't know if you're all aware or not of Dennis Asher's excellent Nanogames accessible web games project:

http://www.nanogames.com/

This from the front page:

  a.. Adjust the speed and difficulty of the games through a very wide range.

  b.. Support for alternative access methods. Nanogames can be controled using a mouse or the keyboard and even played as single switch games (controled using a mouse click or key press or any device that emulates the keyboard or mouse click). There are a wide range of such devices available from miniature and expanded keyboards, through to mouse emulators like head mouse and touch screens. 

  c.. Built-in Single Switch Scanning - all games can be played using a single switch. 

  d.. Low Vision support - the game size and contrast can be increased for seniors and low vision game players.

  e.. All the Nanogames use a uniform interface. There is no need to learn a new adaptation method for each game. It will take a little time learning how to adapt the first game, the rest is easy.
