One Life Co., Ltd. which operates welfare services for people with disabilities mainly in Gunma Prefecture, announced that it will open "ONEGAME", a Type B support center specializing in "e-sports" in June 2020.
New Possibilities with e-Sports and Disabilities
One Life Co., Ltd. was one of the first companies to introduce e-sports to people with disabilities, and the company's iba-sho lifestyle support center offers programs that allow people with disabilities to pursue their dreams and hopes through e-sports while dealing with their handicaps.
The facility has equipment tailored to each individual's disability and assigns specialized coaches to help them train to become professionals.
