About Callum
Callum suffered a spinal injury as a result of a BMX accident, which left him paralysed from the shoulders down.
Unable to use his hands, he'd given up the hope of ever being able to play on his Playstation with his friends and family again. But his occupational therapist at Stoke Mandeville Spinal Unit introduced SpecialEffect to him, and our team were able to make home visits to try out some controller setups which would allow him to play games using his chin.
We've finally found an effective solution for Callum that lets him play with his sister and father on his favourite racing games. Accessing games for Callum isn't just a way to pass the time. It's a way to interact, socialise and compete with other people.
