Pinball for All: Accessibility Solutions for Disabled Players - 2026 Northwest Pinball & Arcade Show
Summary
NWPAS seminar on pinball accessibility: adaptive flipper controls, hearing/vision aids, and a disabled player's firsthand experience.
A Northwest Pinball & Arcade Show seminar led by Ted Brown, MD, and Dave Beecher of Fast Pinball surveyed accessibility solutions for disabled pinball players, covering vision, hearing, and hand-function limitations and the devices addressing them. Angie Holabus and Michael shared a first-hand player perspective on using pinball with reduced hand function after a spinal cord injury. The talk also highlighted manufacturers' emerging built-in accessibility features and the community's push for more standardized options.
This next session focuses on an incredibly important topic: opening up the joy of pinball to absolutely everyone through hardware and software innovation. Here to discuss cutting-edge accessibility solutions, please welcome Ted Brown, MD, and Dave Beecher from FAST Pinball, along with special guests Erik Voogd and Angie Hulsebus!
