00:00My name is Grover.
00:01Sean.
00:01My name is Ian.
00:02I'm Taylor.
00:03My name is Owen, and I'm nine and a half years old.
00:07I only have one.
00:12And, yeah.
00:13I love video games, my friends, my family, and again, video games.
00:19Whenever I play it, it makes me feel happy.
00:22The fun that you get to have with connecting with your friends.
00:25You make your own rules.
00:26It's his way of interacting with his friends when he can't physically otherwise do it.
00:32When I'm playing with a regular controller, there's some things that don't work for me.
00:38It's difficult for me to use both joysticks and the D-pad at the exact same time.
00:44And it just slowed me down a bunch more while other people were like,
00:49She's never had the freedom to play at the level she knows she could.
00:53I never thought it was unfair. I just thought, hey, this is the way it is, and it's not going
00:58to change.
00:59What I like about the adaptive controller is that now everyone can play.
01:05I don't even have to look at the controller and just be like, looking at the screen like, hey, yep,
01:10yep.
01:10You never want your kid to feel like an outsider or an other.
01:13One of the biggest fears early on is, how will Owen be viewed by the other kids?
01:19He's not different when he plays.
01:23It's a little challenging, but that's the whole point of gaming.
01:26I can hit the buttons just as fast as they can.
01:29And I think I can crush my friends.
01:32No matter how your body is or how fast you are, you can play.
01:39It's a really good thing to have in this world.
