# Gaming and Disability Player Experience Guide

> Use the Gaming and Disability Player Experience Guide (GADPEG) to explore gameplay barriers by motor, vision, hearing, cognitive, and speech disability.

The **Gaming and Disability Player Experience Guide (GADPEG)** is a supplemental resource to the [XBOX Accessibility Guidelines](/build/game-principles/accessibility/xbox-accessibility-guidelines).

Where the XAGs are organized by game *area* (text display, contrast, subtitles, input, and so on), GADPEG is organized by **type of disability**. It walks through the barriers players commonly encounter, describes typical assistive technologies, and points to the XAG best practices that address each barrier.

## Who should read it

* **Design leads and UX** starting a new project — brief the team on player experience before scoping features.
* **Producers** — use it to plan when in production to schedule XAG work.
* **Engineers and QA** — use it as background for the concrete XAG implementation guidelines.

## What's inside

* Motor disabilities
* Vision disabilities
* Hearing disabilities
* Cognitive disabilities
* Speech disabilities

Each section covers common barriers, assistive technology, and cross-links to the specific XAGs that address them.
