Richard arrived earlier today with the three new videos he's produced and it's given me the chance to upload them to the Dream-Racer web site.

We've now got videos of the two new toys Cassy and Sammie - I blogged about earlier - as well a new video of one of the first toys we switch adapted: Nurserytime Bear.

I've loaded all three onto the Dream-Toys page of the Dream-Racer web site - that's where we show all of the switch adapted musical toys.

This is what you need to do if you would like to see the new videos or any of the earlier ones:

1: click on the Dream-Toys link - this will take you to the Dream-Toys page that shows all of the switch adapted musical toys we produce.

2: click on the picture of the toy, or the red "click to play video link" or the "more" button. This will open a pop-up window that contains the video player. It looks like this but it's bigger. 

3: click "play" in the centre of the black video player and the video should stream to you PC. Each video lasts for about one minute.

We also have video content featured on the "home page" that gives a quick overview of some of the other products we produce for children and young adults with disabilities.

I hope you enjoy them.

We have added two new switch adapted toys to the Dream-Toys family - meet Cassy and Sammie.

Both are plush musical toys that can be turned on using the internal switch mounted in their paws or by connecting any standard (3.5mm) external switch.

Cassy sings "Come on get happy" while her mouth moves with the music and feet rock back and forth.

Sammie is very laid-back. He sings "Don't worry be happy" while his mouth moves with the music and he taps his toes up and down in time with the beat.

We'll have the videos ready very shortly and will stream them on the Dream-Racer web site along with the other videos of our switch adapted toys.

Doors open on January 14th at the Special Needs Fringe event in London for three days closing on Friday, January 16th.

I took this description of the evenet from the Inclusive Technology web site: "Special Needs Fringe focuses on computers and special needs, a field increasingly called "Assistive Technology". There is a resources exhibition with product suppliers and advisory services, new hardware and software to try out and a programme of free seminars to help you get the most out of your day."

This year will be the third time we have visited Fringe. We will also be stepping across the road to BETT, the massive "technology in education" exhibition.

We are also planning to take a new wireless switch system with us to connect into the Soundbeam system Tim Swingler will be showing on their stand in the Special Needs section at BETT.

I'll write more about what we saw and did next week.
