This week Ryan, Rob, and Steve welcome advocate and fledgling app developer Megan Heximer to the show to discuss Accessibility Business Guide, her new app that provides the Disability Community with detailed accessibility information for local businesses. They discuss how the app works, the importance of community driven data as well as the need for information about accessible venues in mainstream Mapping programs.
Ready to do some button mashing?? We take a deep dive into the history and future of Accessible Gaming with this week’s guest, Mike Feir, who is a regular contributor on AMI as well as author of several books. Mike’s experience with Accessible Gaming goes all the way back to the 90s, and he discusses what it was like back then and where he sees gaming going these days.
