Greg Landgraf writes: “Growing up, Steve Spohn’s primary way to connect with others was through videogames. Diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy as an infant, Spohn spent significant time in the hospital as a child [where he could only play with others through the hospital’s gaming system]. Spohn, director of the Mount Sinai Back to Life Center in New York City and former chief operating officer of AbleGamers, worked with Deerfield (Ill.) Public Library to host an open-house-style Adaptive Arcade event, featuring a PlayStation 5, a Nintendo Switch, and a gaming PC for use with games such as Rocket League and the Mario Kart series.”
