In 2004, AbleGamers was established as a nonprofit dedicated to elevating disabled voices and improving accessibility in the gaming industry.
Aside from industry partnerships, AbleGamers purports to act as consultants with developers to teach about the implementation of accessibility options in games .
According to the source, Barlet would periodically tell the source she was HR because she “was the woman of the group.”.
Barlet’s negative impacts extend far beyond his interactions with his employees and fellow members of the accessibility community.
As the founder and former Executive Director of AbleGamers, Barlet helped to create new initiatives and programs for the organization.
According to another former AbleGamers employee that wished to be anonymous, Barlet’s egregious spending caused tension within the company.
However, behind closed doors, and even within the accessibility space, leadership allegedly failed to protect employees, as well as the people they purported to champion. »
