NARBE Foundation | News and Updates

Big update to   Benny’s Accessibility Hub   🎮✨ NARBE House just added more free games that anyone can try. These games are made to be simple, fun, and accessible. They work with switches, touch screens, keyboard input like space bar and enter, and other adaptive tech if it’s already on your device. These games were created because there is a gap when it comes to free switch access games out there for people with complex needs. The games are designed to reduce overwhelm, use just one or two inputs, and avoid fast reaction timing so players with complex needs can play at their own pace. Some games even include editors so you can create custom versions for the person you’re building for. You can submit your creations too and we may feature them on the hub. You can access Benny's Accessibility Hub through the foundation's website: https://narbefoundation.org/bennyshub/

  We’re honored to have the NARBE Foundation featured on  Reclaiming AI , Chantelle’s Substack publication exploring ethical, human-centered uses of artificial intelligence. The article highlights how our foundation grew from a real caregiving need and how simple, adaptable technology can restore access, autonomy, and joy for people with complex communication and physical disabilities. Through Ben’s journey, the piece shows what’s possible when AI is used to support dignity, independence, and connection rather than efficiency alone. It reflects the heart of our mission: building open, accessible tools that meet people where they are and empower families to create solutions that truly work.

We are excited to share that the   NARBE Foundation   has awarded a $1,000 grant to   Switched Toys   to support their ongoing research and development work. At Switched Adapted Toys, their mission is  Making Play Possible . They are dedicated to providing resources, how-to videos, and adapted toys that empower children with disabilities to play, learn, and grow. We are also working together to explore ways to make switches more affordable for families, and we hope to donate hardware kits later this year to further support access to adaptive play. Their work aligns closely with our commitment to accessibility, independence, and joy through technology. We are proud to support the impact they are making. 🔗 Learn more:  https://switchedtoys.org
