Goals
"In this article we analyze how [teenagers and young adults with disabilities who play digital games] frame the games biographically, situationally and bodily, and how they respond to various challenges as they pursue their cultural interest. Our focus is on the social and cultural aspects of being young, living with disabilities and living with games, sidestepping the instrumental perspectives that often are expected in this area (cf. Apelmo 2013, 39)." (Authors, 1144)
