Amber - 7-128 Software makes accessible Windows computer games.  There  are 
three memory games that would be interesting for an 8 year old - "Kim's  
Game", "Snowflake", and "Orchestra".  These three are Tyler games.  
 
There is one Pizza Game that is also suitable for an 8 year old and that is 
 "What Comes Next".  In this game you are given a series of items and have  
to figure out what would come next.  These are challenging, but interesting 
 and encourage logical thinking..
 
7-128 rates all their games as to accessibility.  All BL accessible  games 
self voice using the SAPI voice you have selected on your computer.  
 
In addition for older children and adults, we have a mystery game series -  
Inspector Cyndi in Newport (set in Newport RI in the gilded age).  There  
are also a number of word games that are accessible.  
 
For pre-school age and younger children, the Pizza Games are great.   They 
teach letters, numbers, the concept of addition and subtraction and an  
introduction to spelling and definitions of words.  They all self-voice and  
have interesting sounds associated with them.
