SwitchedGames

About

SwitchedGames is a project of the NARBE Foundation, built after the founding family discovered that most recreational software was inaccessible to Ben — their family member living with TUBB4A-related leukodystrophy. Rather than adapting existing games, they built new ones from scratch using a one- or two-button scanning model that requires no fine motor control, no mouse, and no standard keyboard. Every game in the library works with a single adaptive switch or two switches — making it one of the few gaming destinations genuinely designed for people with severe physical disabilities.

What It Offers

• Free game library: A growing collection of fully browser-based games and interactive tools requiring only one or two button inputs
• One-button and two-button scanning: All games support single-switch scanning and many support two-switch direct selection — the most common adaptive access methods
• No login or download required: Games run directly in the browser, making them immediately accessible in school, therapy, and care settings
• Designed for complex needs: Unlike mainstream "accessible games" that reduce difficulty, SwitchedGames starts from the assumption of very limited interaction — making it genuinely usable by people who are nonspeaking and have severe motor impairments
• Actively growing: New games are added as the NARBE community builds them

Who It's For

SwitchedGames is for anyone who uses a single switch or two-switch scanning system to interact with technology — including people with cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, ALS, muscular dystrophy, TUBB4A leukodystrophy, and other conditions affecting motor control. It is also valuable for AAC therapists, special education teachers, and caregivers looking for accessible recreational activities that don't require a complex setup.
