Although she has limited use of the trackpad, she really wants to be able to use voice controls to help her play games like Dragon Quest and In Verbis Virtus, but she\u2019s finding it really difficult to find the very best way to do this.<\/p>\n<p>Frankie and Nomi\u2019s Skype call with Zoe at home could well be a breakthrough though. They talked with her about every aspect of the challenge, including potential equipment positioning, her favourite games and the exact details of what movements and abilities she has.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can now look further into the games she wants to play and put together some voice control scripts for her to try, as well providing the relevant assistive equipment,\u201d said Frankie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we\u2019ve pulled everything together we\u2019ll support Zoe in another online assessment and support session to make sure it\u2019s all set up it as successfully as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Online assessment and support is an exciting alternative way to provide our life-changing support and one that we\u2019re sure will enable us to continue to bring fun and inclusion to many, many more people, so please do\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/specialeffect.worldsecuresystems.com\/contact\">get in touch<\/a>\u00a0if you think we can help.<\/p>\n<p><em>Below: Zoe (r), talking to Frankie (t) and Nomi (l)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2733 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.specialeffect.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/zoe1000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.specialeffect.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/zoe1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.specialeffect.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/zoe1000-250x166.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.specialeffect.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/zoe1000-700x464.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.specialeffect.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/zoe1000-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.specialeffect.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/zoe1000-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The good news goes on!
