  Hi Sandra:
  I am Eleanor Robinson, COO 7-128 Software.  We make family-friendly, 
casual games that are as accessible as we can make them.  They are 
"games for everyone".
I have spoken at the Games for Health Conferences and have been active 
in trying to promote accessibility in games.  Stephanie Walker from 
AbleGamers and I did a white paper this spring titled Gaming on a 
Collision Course.  We tried to make a case that as the current 
game-playing population aged, there would need to be accessibility 
accommodations included in games to help the expected 40% of the over-65 
age group that would have one or more disabilities.  This would also 
help the non-elderly disabled as well.
We, at 7-128 Software plan to continue to make accessible games for 
computers and maybe other platforms.  We will continue to support the 
SIG and making accessibility a more common consideration for game 
developers to include in their games.
Eleanor
