Video games are a 'great equalizer' for people with disabilities

Erin Hawley doesn't care if she wins or loses, but with adaptive controllers, she and so many other disabled gamers are able to play the game. Gaming has been a huge part of Erin Hawley's life since she started playing Atari as a little girl. When the Keyport, New Jersey-based, 35-year-old digital content producer for the Easterseals charity gets off work, she gets right on her computer or Xbox and often keeps going until it's time for bed. Hawley is a fan of shooter titles such as "Overwatch" and "Half-Life," but she'll play adventure games, puzzles, almost anything. She's also a regular on the Amazon-owned Twitch live streaming platform.
