NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Remember when your
parents said "there is no money in video games" and encouraged you
to find a new hobby? Perhaps you are that parent. Well, whatever
the case, Game-U has proven that narrative FALSE! More importantly,
we are reaching and teaching a demographic that very few other
companies have been able to reach and teach, the disabled
(physically and mentally) community. Even better? Classes cost most
of our students NOTHING OUT OF POCKET, as they can be FUNDED BY
MEDICAID'S STATE PROGRAMS!
Take Nicholas and Anthony (Frick and Frack) D'Agostino for
example. Longtime students of Game-U's Accelerate Program, they are
now Game-U employees and have found independence through their
work. Diagnosed with a neuromuscular disease called Spinal Muscular
Atrophy at 18 months old, they stopped walking when they were 6
years old. Unable to play any traditional sports, the two of them
turned to online gaming to get their competitive juices flowing.
They excelled, climbed the leaderboards, and eventually,
collectively, used to be ranked top 20 in the world in 7 different
games. Both extremely talented individuals, they found it difficult
to find gainful employment due to their physical limitations. That
is, until they found Game-U.
Now, at age 30, they are utilizing their skills and have found
what they consider to be a legitimate path to independence.
Nicholas loves his work and is also motivated to build a life for
himself and his wife (newly weds), Breelagh. Anthony has become
quite the 3D artist and has grasped everything he's learned with
ease. Together, they plan on buying a house and leading their
lives, free of their parents and full of independence, largely
because of the money they earn as valuable employees. The two of
them are perfect advocates for the program and the company, as they
have experienced every aspect of the journey, from student to
employee, and from dependent to independent!
