Dream Toys employ switch adapted technology that helps put children and young adults in charge.  Dream-Racer is the name of the switch adapted technology developed to give individuals with limited upper body mobility the opportunity to play with radio controlled racing cars, trucks or boats. The switch adapted controls have been built into a baseball cap that replaces the hand-held joystick normally used. By tilting the head forward, back, left or right users are able to drive their car in the same way others would using a joystick.

Dream-Gamer is a switch adapted controller for use with the Sony PlayStation 1, 2 and 3. Dream-Gamer has been designed so that children and young adults with physical disabilities can play games on the Sony PlayStation using a range of controllers.

Dream-Toys are a new series of sensory and switch adapted toys produced for young children (3 to 7 years) with special needs. The toys are suitable for blind and partially sighted, deaf and hard-of-hearing and young children with other special needs.

Written by a dear friend and fellow Occupational Therapist Hazel Boomkamp-Lee (We trained together at the London School of Occupational Therapy) ‘Lula and the Rainbow Rocket’ is a rollicking and humorous story. 

Lula’s determination to succeed makes this such a positive and life-affirming read and the whacky adventures she has along the way makes the story all the more enjoyable.

Lula, the central character is an immensely likeable, curious, plucky, energetic and extremely capable girl who overcomes a devastating accident that renders her paraplegic and a wheel chair user.

The places and characters have been brought to life by imaginative names and descriptive and amusing similes which had me chuckling out loud on many occasions.

Promisingly, the clever ending is full of future possibilities for further adventures. If you are looking for a positive role model, Lula fits the bill perfectly.

After many months of researching, writing business plans and website development www.enjoy-able.co.uk went ‘live’ at the beginning of August.  It has been a ‘soft launch’ to start with – concentrating on final web site enhancements, search engine optimisation, link building and the start of  online network marketing to promote the web site.   

A big thank you to the team at ekmpowershop whose help and patience was invaluable in getting the enjoy-able web site up and running.  Thanks in particular to their in-house designer John Slater for so speedily & successfully translating my ‘brief’ into the website template design and to Jason Rothwell, Technical Support for answering all my numerous development questions with the greatest of patience and courtesy!  

Thanks also to Miranda Redman at NRS for her generous help in providing product images, descriptions and more!

More thanks!..to all Sandy’s Occupational Therapy colleagues/friends for their input…keep sending the comments and suggestions in please!

Finally must mention Peter Banner my Business Link Mentor for his help, practical advice and encouragement – it was much appreciated.

The next few weeks will be very busy as new products are brought online and the marketing begins in earnest.
