To that end, peer counselors spend as much time as necessary, and figuring out the gaming setup for people with disabilities is extremely time-consuming. These sessions serve as a starting point for granting the hardware, custom controllers, and specialized equipment\/technologies that can be prohibitively expensive.<\/p>\n
