Abstract

As the esports and gaming industry continues to grow and diversify, people with disabilities must not be left behind. Inclusive and accessible environments are not only a moral and legal responsibility, but they are also essential to building vibrant, innovative, and representative gaming communities. This checklist is designed to support organisations, institutions, and individuals in making their environments more inclusive and accessible for people with disabilities, whether as players, coaches, content creators, analysts, or fans. Developed through panel discussions and focus groups involving educators and industry professionals, this checklist reflects real-world insights and lived experiences. It forms part of the University of West London’s Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) activity, promoting collaboration between academia, industry, and community to advance accessibility and equity in esports and gaming.
