NOTICE: PROFESSIONAL CAPTIONING IS WORK IN PROGRESS. Please check our Twitter (https://twitter.com/GA_Conf) for info on when it has been completed, or just back. Apologies for the delay!

Should studios set aside permanent spaces dedicated to game accessibility research, feedback, education, and design? Microsoft has done just that with its Inclusive Technologies Lab. In this talk, Tara will discuss the value of a dedicated inclusive technologies space, how the lab was launched, what went right (and not quite right) during the first year of operation, and provide detailed tips and tricks for setting up your own accessibility-centric space.
