Story

Thanks for your support! SpecialEffect are an incredible charity who enable severely disabled people to use technology in any way possible, using whichever parts of their body work best, by adapting tech to their individual needs. 

It makes a huge difference for them to be able to join in with family/ friends and not left out. This can hugely benefit mental well-being, self-esteem and quality of life and provides much needed FUN! 

The charity specialises in Eye Control Technology. Imagine waking up after an accident and not being able to move anything except your eyes. Through eye-movement alone, they help people operate a computer so they can play games, communicate and regain a little independence – giving them a voice when they don’t have one of their own.
