SpecialEffect is a technology charity that allows physically disabled people to communicate and enjoy things we take for granted.. Like video games!! They make bespoke, and specialist adaptive technology to be controlled using whichever parts of their body work best - providing inclusion, mental wellbeing & a real quality of life... Not to mention much needed independence, escapism, socialising & fun.

They also specialise in Eye Control Technology... Imagine: You wake up after an accident. You can’t move anything except your eyes. You can’t speak. You're scared and frustrated. Through eye-movement alone, they could help you operate a computer so you can communicate and regain a little independence – they can give you a voice when you didn't have one of your own!

They are truly an awesome and underappreciated charity... Tom, a young man they helped, wrote simply: ‘Thank you for giving me my life back...' Sadly Tom died a while ago, but he kept happily gaming right up to the very night he passed away.
