Xbox Adaptive Controller to PS5 - Resolved!

SpecialEffect have found a successful way to use an Xbox adaptive controlled with a PS5 - Get in!

They have said you don’t need a network connection but you do need both a Titan Two adapter and a Besavior controller.

Here are the steps to make your PlayStation accessibility dreams come true…

  1. Programme a free slot on a T2 (set to AUTO) with this script.
  2. PINK: Link the XAC to the front of the T2.
  3. BLACK (optional): Connect a co-pilot gamepad to the other free front T2 port, to use an additional compatible controller alongside the XAC (the Besavior gamepad is needed for touchpad, Sixaxis and microphone access, but much of the rest of the inputs on the Besavior will not work).
  4. BLUE: Use the original short Titan Two cable to link the T2 OUTPUT port to the On The Go USB adapter, then into the underside port of the Besavior.
  5. RED: Give the T2 extra power (via the rear PROG port). This can come from the PS5’s small USB-C port on the front or one of the two USB-A ports on the back, a PC, or a Raspberry Pi 3B power supply.
  6. GREEN: Connect the Besavior USB port to the PS5. Make sure you’re in the correct T2 slot.
  7. Play!

The Readiness to Learn Ladder in Assistive Technology Intervention

Effective assistive technology (AT) intervention is not just about selecting the right tool, but about ensuring the learner is ready to use it. The concept of Readiness to Learn (RTL) provides a simple but powerful lens: before introducing new tools or strategies, we must ensure the learner’s body, mind, and environment are in a state where learning is possible. Drawing on models like HAAT, SETT, and the Participation Model, we can frame RTL as a ladder of precursors: The RTL Ladder 1. Seati

Get Them While They're Young: The Case for Early AT Intervention

Don't Wait - The Clock's Ticking Let's get straight to it: early childhood is prime time for learning. From birth to around five years, children experience peak neuroplasticity; a period when they're naturally wired to absorb language, motor skills, and social learning (ecoparent.ca). By age three, synaptic density peaks, and environment-driven pruning follows. The brain's at its most flexible, curious, and hungry for information. Miss this window, and that extraordinary learning capacity star

Assistive Technology: Improving Quality of Life Through a First-Principles Approach

Assistive Technology (AT) is fundamentally about improving quality of life. While arguments are often made around transferable skills and independence, the heart of AT is simpler, yet deeper—it's about facilitating intentions and enhancing the everyday experiences of disabled individuals. Why We Do It: Beyond Independence There's a common assumption in AT that the ultimate goal is independence—often measured against societal expectations set by non-disabled norms. However, we need to re-exami
