# Practical Game Accessibility

When you make a game, you’re crafting a shared experience. Whether your game is a private gift for one person or a global commercial release, for solo play or many players, it’s an invitation to connect with and respond to your ideas as a creator. When you make your game more accessible, you’re extending that invitation to a wider and more diverse audience.

This course is a practical introduction to accessibility for intermediate creators. As you complete it, you’ll choose a game to create and work on making that game as accessible as possible.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

- Apply an inclusive design approach to your work as a creator
- Identify critical accessibility requirements for your projects
- Implement accessibility review and feedback cycles throughout development
- Design and develop features using an inclusive design approach
- Maintain a focus on accessibility while adapting to constraints and emerging project needs
