Ajay playing video games with adapted controllers
140Here's Ajay, an IT support analyst with spinal muscular atrophy, explaining what it means to regain the ability to enjoy video games. He hadn't been able to play since he lost his hand dexterity when was 17 years old, but we introduced him to a chin-controlled joystick and voice control setup that's got him back in the game.
"Initially I wanted to play every game because I was so excited," he said. "SpecialEffect have given me back something I lost many years ago."
In this video Ajay, who uses a head-controlled mouse to control his PC at work, talks about how essential games are for him to maintain a good work/life balance.
SpecialEffect are a UK-based charity that help people with disabilities benefit from video games and computer-based leisure technology.
