Riley Shines A Light on Blindness and Accessibility for Gamers
Riley was born with light perception blindness. When she was in high school, her brothers tricked her into playing a video game (Mortal Combat) and even though she couldn't see, she was determined to beat them. Years later, Riley's interest in gaming peaked when she got an IPhone. Soon after, she became an advocate for people with disabilities to be able to play games just as those without disabilities are able to. Riley is on a mission to educate game developers and the general public about this topic. I learned so much from talking to Riley and I know that you will, too! Riley is on Twitter at @Accessibility4Gamers and has a podcast called The A4G Podcast.
