Mitch's cerebral palsy means that he struggles to use the rear triggers on his games controller. This video shows how we remapped the triggers to two small switches under the controller, and attached it to a heavy duty clinical mounting to reduce the effect of the tremor in his arms.

Now he's back on a level playing field, and it's the ability to compete that's making all the difference. As he neatly puts it, "It puts the fun back if you can be just as good as someone else."
