Thomas and his mum applied to the fund for some ICT to support his communication and independence - to help give Thomas some independent choice and control at home. With his iPad, apps, smart sockets and Alexa all set up, Thomas can now control various appliances. Thomas is able to switch lights on and off, control what is on the TV and manage other electrical items within the home. It is great to see Thomas so happy, and we are proud for Thomas to be the first recipient of support from the Anne Baker Bursary Fund!
