UD student inspired by brother

Dayton, Ohio (WDTN) - University of Dayton Graduate Engineering student Brad Eley got tired of seeing his little brother Dale Brick get frustrated while playing video games.

Dale was unable to fully grasp the intricate controls because of Cerebral Palsy 's grip on his left hand.

So Brad decided to take on the challenge of making a better controller with his fellow engineering students at the Innovation Center.

Through two semesters, the students mastered a controller that provides Dale with an easier to use ball control that, not only has improved Dale's motor skills but it also allows Dale to play better.

According to Brad it's been a real labor of love, " It felt great to know that there were so many people out there that were willing to help out my little brother but really it's to help out many people it's not just Dale that can use this device."
