Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
SpecialEffect enable severely disabled people to use computers in any way possible – using whichever part(s) of their body that work best - by adapting technology to their individual needs. It’s so important they can join in with family/friends, to be included and not left out. This can hugely benefit mental wellbeing, self-esteem and quality of life – and much needed FUN!
We specialise in Eye Control Technology. Imagine: You wake up after an accident. You can’t move anything except your eyes. And you can’t speak. Through eye-movement alone, we help people operate a computer so they can communicate and regain a little independence - giving them a voice when they don’t have one of their own.
We feel honoured to work with such extraordinary people who in the most testing of circumstances, somehow display such courage and resilience. Every day we’re moved by their character, which inspires us to keep doing everything we can to enable them to get the most out of life in their own particular situation.
Tom, a young lad we helped wrote simply: “I just want to thank you for giving me my life back.”
