This is Patrick. He has spinal muscular atrophy and attends a mainstream primary school. He uses an alternative keyboard and mouse to access the same educational computer software as his peers. However, this isn't his main motivation... he can now manage his own fantasy football team independently to beat his brothers and Dad!
In the longer term, Patrick will need access to the computer to complete his school work as independently as possible.
Those contributing to the film: Patrick's learning support worker, his parents, brothers and best friend all show how his new computer skills enable Patrick to work and play more independently.
The production of this video was financially supported by the UK Department for Education.
