In this premiere episode of Blind Bosses, I learn about Mobile Accessible Games from Aaron Spelker. Aaron tells us about the freak accident that left him blind about three years ago. He talks about how a conversation with a blind man on a commuter train years before he went blind helped him get started with the accessibility features on the iPhone while still in the hospital. Aaron also explains what brought him to start writing reviews on accessible games. He also tells us how writing his first book helped him learn assistive technology.
