In this episode of Open Book, we hear from Austin Scott, founder and Executive director of Rx Gaming. Rx Gaming was founded in 2022 with a mission to improve the lives of people with disabilities by supporting the access, advancement, and awareness of adaptive gaming technology.

Adaptive gaming is a way to make video games accessible to people with disabilities by developing specialized hardware and software solutions to accommodate physical, sensory, and cognitive challenges. Adaptive gaming can include modifying games to allow players to use one or no hands, play from a wheelchair, or use voice controls.

Austin trained as a fellow at Cincinnati Children's hospital and is an attending physician at Riley Hospital for Children.
