Thanks to his adaptive controllers, Thomas has now mastered running and jumping with 1 hand on his favourite @xboxuk game @pawpatrol @SpecialEffect

In 2007, I was still at school, not quite yet a tea addict, but already in love with McFly 😂💖
In 2024, I've done a charity stream for my respite place & have been gaming again for just over a year thanks to the support of @SpecialEffect 💙🧡

A wonderful visit today with @SpecialEffect team after 3 long years. So inspired how they enable gamers with disabilities to play games & connect. Played games & texted using only my eyes, raced in @ForzaHorizon 5 using just my chin. Even proper tea & my first mincemeat pie! 🙏🏻💚
