SpecialEffect is a charity based in the United Kingdom founded in 2007.[1] It specialises in helping physically disabled people, specifically children, play video games. The organisation works with developers to create specialised game control devices as well as making their games more accessible.[2] This includes controllers using inputs from any part of the body that can move, such as small toe movements or the player's gaze.[3] The ability to play video games, now seen as an almost universal pastime, can help improve the mental health of disabled people who otherwise could not play them.[4]
