Therapeutic Play
Gamers Outreach and Xbox are proud to present ‘Gaming Therapy’ an initiative and on-going partnership that aims to position gaming as a tool to connect, entertain and aid the recovery process for children who spend long periods of time in hospital.
A launch documentary film introduces us to Jordan, a 14-year-old from Atlanta who is living with an extremely rare strain of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome – and has spent most of his childhood years in hospitals and physiotherapy. Jordan had never met anyone with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome before, however, that all changed when he met Megan, who lives in Scotland, through gaming on Xbox.
