Jack's finally in the game!
So happy to be able to help Jack! He has cerebral palsy, and although he’s always loved watching his brother and his friends playing video games, he’s never been able to join in. Until today.
Our therapists Gill and Nomi went over to Kent to see if they could find a way for Jack to join in the fun, and within hours he and his brother Freddie were playing together for the very first time! The team had worked out a control setup for him using a Microsoft Xbox Adaptive Controller connected to large joystick and two large buttons, firmly attached to a special laptop tray - in just the right place for his hands. The boys were soon having ball together enjoying the excitement of DiRT4 and Disney Rush!
