He was born with Cerebral Palsy which affects his ability to do one of his favorite things, gaming. Dillon loves Pok\u00e9mon games but gets easily frustrated when playing the Nintendo Switch due to the small buttons which result in mishits a lot of the time.<\/p>\n

Dillon streams on Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube to his community and wanted it to be easier for him to play, so he can stream more consistently and post videos.<\/p>\n

Dillon visited a local gaming clinic that was part of\u00a0Powered By AbleGamers<\/a>, a program that provides training and support to staff, and grants specialized gaming equipment to facilities so that people with disabilities have a nearby location to help them with getting into or back into gaming.<\/p>\n

After some testing and consultations, it was determined that he could utilize the Hori Flex alongside the Logitech Adaptive Gaming Kit. AbleGamers granted the equipment to him, and he began learning his new hardware. With some trial and error and the addition of a special joystick, Dillon is now able to play more frequently and easily.<\/p>\n

We are happy to have assisted in Dillon\u2019s gaming challenges and quest to catch more Pok\u00e9mon![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid grid_id=”vc_gid:1708007337897-22c34a4b-d5e6-1″ include=”8958,8957,8956″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#052049″][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
