Valuable user experience with COSMOS Connect
The physical assistance that COSMOS Connect offers a better mental health experience to its users. The ability to have control over one’s environment adds to their confidence.
Leo is one of the users having experience with Cosmos Connect. Here’s what his mom has to say about the accessory, “When Leo discovered he could play a video game through the Xbox on the large tv in the family room, he was ecstatic! Even when he is playing a game or on his device, he still likes to be part of whatever the family has going on, and being able to play where everyone hangs out was a door opened because of the Cosmos Connect.”
She further added, “One of the things that excited Leo and all of us the most, was that the Cosmos Connect gives Leo the opportunity to play with other people. His little sister is getting older, and she thinks it is super cool to play video games with her big brother. They work as a team, and have typical sibling rivalries over the games,” as per CBL website.
