Toy innovation meets assistive technology
Our coding robot kit is designed with accessibility in mind. Users programme the robot’s movements with easy-to-use buttons and switches, with no keyboard or mouse needed, and its sensors avoid obstacles for safe play. It works with our switches and AAC devices, so parents, therapists and teachers can build communication, language, concept and cause-and-effect lessons around each learner’s needs.

World Autism Acceptance Month
We marked World Autism Acceptance Month by sharing tips and ideas on how assistive technology can help autistic people overcome barriers. Everyone deserves the chance to reach their full potential.
Ramadan together
