Of course there are plenty of single player and/or offline games where cheating doesn't affect the community so much, and there isn't any banning going on.
If there are any companies and/or online multi-player games that specifically encourage those with accessibility issues to participate with the help of assistive technologies, I would be happy to hear about them. I'm a fan of quadriplegic Twitch streamer NoHandsKen, who unfortunately hasn't been streaming lately but I'm sure is enjoying the latest Path of Exile update, along with most of the Blizzard games. He has trouble with things that require a key press, like jumping in World of Warcraft. According to Ken, Blizzard has specifically rejected requests to make this specific action accessible.
PS. If you've got Amazon Prime and haven't given this month's associated "free" Twitch subscription to anyone, I recommend NoHandsKen!
