Gaming: Just Dance Being Made Accessible For Everyone
More than 135 million people have played Just Dance – but how accessible is it for everyone?
Ubisoft’s video game has 500 unique choreographies that users from around the world follow.
Seth, 14, from Vale of Glamorgan, was invited to the company’s Paris studio to test out the latest version.
He spoke to designers and choreographers and gave his input on a new routine for people in wheelchairs.
Seth, who has a rare muscle wasting condition called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, is a member of the Welsh Youth Parliament.
This is his story.
Like most teenagers, I love gaming with my friends and brothers, but using a wheelchair means I’m not always able to join in with every video game.
I have a disability that affects my muscles. If I play a game that involves me moving a lot, I’m not always very good at it and my arms ache easily.
Gaming is important to me, so I wanted to know how tech companies are creating new games to suit people with disabilities.
I was invited, with Children in Need, to meet the Paris-based team behind the hit game Just Dance.
The latest version of the game features, for the first time, a routine performed by a dancer in a wheelchair.
Players are invited to sit and follow the arm movements whilst holding their phone or console.
“Everyone can get joy from dance,” Stacey Jenkins, one of Ubisoft’s accessibility design specialists told me.
“Game development is a really long process but if you start to think about accessibility right at the beginning, we can make things accessible by design.
“If you’re a developer and you’re interested in accessibility, you just need to listen to disabled people.”
But is it possible to make all games accessible to all people?
“I think it’s really difficult to make games completely 100% accessible to absolutely everybody at the same time,” says Stacey.
“Every game that we release, if it’s more accessible than the last, then we’re making good progress.”
After chatting to Stacey, I tested Just Dance in the studio with Florent Devlesaver, a Belgian dancer, in a wheelchair, who features in the game.
He told me how he had to adapt the dance moves to work for him, as well as making sure they still worked in a video game.
I loved meeting Florent and having a go at the dance routine in the studio. It was really enjoyable.
It was nice to see that even though you have a disability, it doesn’t define you and you can do whatever you want with your life.
I think people are making a huge effort to develop more accessible games, but it’s going to take some time.
“We’ve seen some really amazing progress being made,” Stacey tells me.
“I think we’ve still got a long way to go.”
I think gaming companies need to figure out what works for people with disabilities but I definitely think things are changing. I have confidence.

Covid Inquiry: Ex-Minister Challenged On Plan For Disabled People
An ex-minister has defended the government’s approach to disabled people during the pandemic, following claims they were “largely disregarded”.
Justin Tomlinson, a former minister for disabled people, told the Covid inquiry the government recognised this group was at greater risk from the virus.
He added that work had been done “at pace” to address this.
The inquiry has previously been told that disabled people’s views were not properly heard ahead of key decisions.
Nearly six out of 10 people who died with coronavirus in England from January to November 2020 were disabled, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
In a witness statement published earlier this month, chief executive of charity Disability Rights UK, Kamran Mallik, said: “From the statements, decisions and actions of the UK government throughout the crisis, considerations relating to disabled people appeared to be largely disregarded.”
Danny Friedman KC, the lawyer acting on behalf of national disabled people’s organisations, suggested to Mr Tomlinson there was “no coherent plan” for disabled people at the start of the pandemic.
However, Mr Tomlinson, who was minister for disabled people during the early stages of the Covid crisis, insisted work was done “at pace”, including on ensuring the system for assessing disability benefits continued to work smoothly.
He said this took a “significant chunk” of his team’s focus as, if it had gone wrong, it would have been “absolutely catastrophic”.
Asked why it took until May 2020 for the impact of Covid-19 on disabled people to become an agenda item for a ministerial implementation group, Mr Tomlinson said: “These sorts of meetings are flagging topical issues, outstanding issues of the time, rather than an opportunity to list things that are already in train.”
He rejected the suggestion the government was too late to look at the issue, adding: “You’re working on the assumption nothing was done until that point… Things happened before that and they were done at pace.”
Pressed on whether there was a cross-government plan for disabled people at that time, Mr Tomlinson said: “It’s included in all of the wider government actions.”
The inquiry’s lawyer also highlighted that a report done by then-Minister for Equalities Kemi Badenoch on addressing Covid health disparities focused on the impact on ethnic minorities and did not cover disabled people.
Mr Tomlinson said he did not know why this was the case.
He added that, although it took time to collect data, “there was a working presumption across government and across society that those with underlying health conditions and disabilities would be at greater risk of the impacts of Covid”.
Disabled people ‘ignored’
The former minister accepted that, in some areas, there was insufficient focus on the effect of the pandemic on disabled people. One issue he highlighted was some government communications being inaccessible.
Mr Tomlinson said it was “hugely frustrating” that it took so long to introduce British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation at the televised government Covid briefings.
He said the issue was flagged repeatedly and was “an easy fix”, which took “far too long”.
In his evidence earlier this month, Mr Mallik of Disability Rights UK said there was a “shocking disregard” when it came to providing information in alternative formats for disabled people, including letters on shielding for clinically vulnerable groups.
He said his charity had also raised concerns about protections for care home residents, and help for disabled people who were not shielding but still needed support accessing food and essentials.
Mr Mallik added that there had been no consultation to allow the views of charities or disabled people to be “properly heard before decisions were made”.
Responding to Mr Tomlinson’s evidence, James Taylor, from disability charity Scope, said: “Today has highlighted what we at Scope have said all along. Disabled people were forgotten, neglected and ignored during the pandemic by the government.
“We know three in five people who died from Covid-19 were disabled. A saddening statistic that could have be avoided had the government acted sooner and prioritised disabled people.”

DWP Considers Powers Of Arrest, Seizure And Collecting Information On Where Claimants Spend Money
With many thanks to Benefits And Work.
The DWP have published the results of a survey on the public’s attitudes to a worrying list of new powers it is considering acquiring, allegedly in order to combat fraud, error and debt in the benefits system.
The proposed new powers include:
- Trained DWP investigators having arrest powers
- Trained DWP investigators having search and seizure powers
- Collecting information about where claimants are spending money
- Collecting banking information as soon as fraud is suspected, rather than waiting for a criminal investigation
- Asking banks to share information about accounts which look like someone may be committing fraud
- Government organisations sharing data with DWP about claimants
The DWP research claims to show that a majority of the public were in favour of every one of these measures being introduced.
Even amongst a group of claimants, the DWP claim, more people considered the powers acceptable than found them unacceptable, with the exception of collecting information about where claimants are spending money.
Given the levels of incompetence, data loss and unaccountability at the DWP, the possibility that staff could arrest claimants and seize their possessions is likely to alarm many readers.
Equally, the idea that the DWP could begin examining bank accounts and looking at how a claimant is spending their money merely because the they suspect fraud is a cause for real concern.
With the department increasingly relying on AI and algorithms they don’t fully understand to detect fraud, the possibility of claimants being wrongfully arrested and facing long and poorly resourced investigations seems real.
No legislation has yet been put forward by the DWP and many will hope that a general election intervenes and that these proposals never become anything more than the wish list of a failing department.
You can read the full details of the DWP consultation on possible new powers here.

Fully Accessible Shop Opens In Guernsey
A new fully accessible shop has opened in Guernsey.
The Ron Short Centre, run by a local charity, has been redesigned into a retail facility which is accessible for, and run by, people with disabilities.
Les Banks, social enterprise manager of the centre, said the shop had been made to accommodate all disabilities.
He said: “The background displays are very plain because that allows us to highlight the product, and that helps people with restricted eyesight.”
He added: “Retail parlance – eyeline in buy line, so we’ve actually dropped that 50cm (20ins) so there are much lower-level displays
“Our counter area has been designed at split level, so it is suitable for people with wheelchairs, as well as people who are fully able.”
