I've been streaming for 5+ years while also having dyslexia, ADHD and the likes of depression, anxiety and PTSD and for me, it would be absolutely vital for disabled and neurodivergent streamers to be featured during Disability Pride Month. For all the challenges we continue to face each day, it would be great for streamers like us to share their voices while being recognised by Twitch for all of their efforts and adversity in being amazing in all they do. Here's to Twitch having Disability Pride Month Front Page Features someday.

As someone who has been streaming for 5 years with Autism, ADHD, Tourette's and CPTSD, I would love to be able to use my platform to openly discuss these heavily stigmatized topics with other people who understand, and the support from Twitch would help a lot.

Disabled creators are important and they matter! It’s time Twitch acts like it!!

l dont have disabilty as such other my mental health l manage but l full support all wonderful comments l seen in past few days . This my take want to help Celebrating Diversity: Disability Month is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible diversity within the gaming community. By featuring disabled streamers prominently on the front page, Twitch sends a powerful message that everyone’s voice matters. Representation matters, and showcasing disabled creators helps break down stereotypes and fosters understanding.
Inspiring Others: Disabled streamers often face unique challenges, yet they continue to create amazing content. Their resilience, creativity, and passion inspire viewers and fellow creators alike. By featuring them, Twitch encourages others to pursue their dreams, regardless of obstacles they may encounter.
Educating the Community: Disability Month features can be educational. Streamers can share their experiences, discuss accessibility in gaming, and raise awareness about specific disabilities. Viewers learn about adaptive technologies, accessible game design, and how to be more inclusive. It’s a win-win for both the community and the streamers.
Promoting Accessibility: When disabled streamers are front and center, it highlights the importance of accessibility. Twitch can use this opportunity to emphasize features like closed captions, customizable UI elements, and controller remapping. By promoting accessibility tools, Twitch encourages all streamers to make their content more inclusive.
Building Empathy: Watching a disabled streamer navigate challenges—whether it’s playing a game with one hand or using eye-tracking technology—builds empathy. Viewers gain a deeper understanding of the daily lives of disabled individuals. This empathy extends beyond Twitch, fostering a more compassionate and understanding society.
Collaboration and Community: Disability Month features can encourage collaboration. Streamers can team up for charity streams, share tips on managing health conditions while streaming, or organize events that raise funds for disability-related causes. It’s a chance for the community to come together and make a positive impact.
Breaking Stigmas: Unfortunately, there are still stigmas associated with disabilities. By featuring disabled streamers prominently, Twitch challenges these stereotypes. It sends a message that disability doesn’t define a person’s worth or abilities. Instead, it’s just one aspect of their multifaceted identity.
Highlighting Hidden Gems: Disabled streamers often bring unique perspectives and talents. Some may excel at storytelling, others at strategy games, and some might be incredible artists. By featuring them, Twitch introduces viewers to hidden gems they might not have discovered otherwise.
Creating Lasting Change: Disability Month isn’t just about a temporary spotlight—it’s about creating lasting change. By consistently featuring disabled creators, Twitch normalizes their presence. Over time, this can lead to a more inclusive platform where everyone feels welcome.
Because Everyone Deserves a Spotlight: Ultimately, Disability Month Front Page Features are about recognizing and celebrating the contributions of disabled streamers. Their voices matter, their content is valuable, and they deserve a spotlight alongside their peers. Let’s make Twitch a place where everyone feels seen and heard!

We’ve been asking for more Disability related support for a long time.

Between this and a guild and the countless times we’ve had to provide feedback on lack of accessibility.

We need your support as members of this community.

It is abhorrent that there isn't a loud and proud representation initiative for our disabled friends on this platform.

Twitch, it’s time to recognize and uplift disabled creators, especially for Disability Pride Month.

we the disabled creators deserve to be recoginised no matter the disability! we work hard even if our disabilities may hinder us so of us its our only income so of us may only get out of bed to spend time with their commuinties... we all deserve to be in the spotlight!

Disability is frequently overlooked in many discussions about equality - I'd love to see Twitch be one of the first platforms to not only open the discussion, but celebrate disabled content creators

As a disabled creator who relies on Twitch for a main source of income, I support this!

In July, Twitch should spotlight and celebrate creators with disabilities during Disability Pride Month. Just as we recognize Black History Month, AAPI Month, and LGBTQIA+ Month, we believe it’s essential to amplify the voices and talents of individuals with disabilities, including those with invisible disabilities and chronic illnesses.

Did you know? According to the World Health Organization, over 1 billion people worldwide live with some form of disability. That’s roughly 15% of the global population! By featuring creators with disabilities on Twitch, we’re not only embracing diversity but also fostering a more inclusive environment where everyone’s story and perspective can be heard and valued.

Why is this important?

Diversity and Representation
Highlighting creators with disabilities on Twitch would showcase the diverse talents and experiences within our community. It’s an opportunity to learn from different perspectives and appreciate the unique contributions each individual brings to the platform.

Reducing Stigma
By openly supporting creators with disabilities, Twitch would help reduce stigma and misconceptions surrounding disabilities and chronic illnesses. Through awareness and education, we can create a more empathetic and understanding community both on and off the platform.

Building an Inclusive Platform
Twitch lives by a standard of inclusivity- by featuring creators with disabilities, we are actively working towards a platform where everyone feels welcome, supported, and empowered to share their passions with the world.

Raising Global Awareness
Highlighting Disability Pride Month on Twitch isn’t just about celebrating within our community—it’s about raising awareness globally. By showcasing the achievements and talents of creators with disabilities, we contribute to a broader dialogue on disability rights and equality.

I’m a visually impaired streamer and this would be such a W Twitch!!

As a disabled creator I feel like this is needed.

Disabled creators deserve to be highlighted

I speak loudly of my struggles so someone else might not feel so alone. Is that not something to help get eyes on for any disabled creator? Give disabled creators a chance to be highlighted and empowered.
