Current mainstream games are high paced, energetic and fun for many to play but for some young people with disabilities they are too fiddly and difficult for them to engage with.

Charities working with disabled youngsters have now managed to discuss with gaming companies how they could make improvements to their games to make them more accessible for all and the computer games industry is changing to make gaming more accessible for kids with disabilities.

Charity SpecialEffect uses modified controllers, which can be controlled by people feet or their faces and new techniques like eye tracking technology, to make sure that disabled people don't miss out on new games which their friends are playing.

The charity hope that their research and feedback to gaming companies will help shape changes in the industry in the future and have benefits for the young people they work with.
