I really burst into tears when I first saw it. This is really fascinating how a dad worked hard to make his child every day life easier. I can understand his effort as father of disabled child and very proud of achievement he made.
It is hard to believe how hard to reach resources for a disabled child. Some European countries has very good regulations about supporting disabled children thus equipment is very expensive. It is impossible to effort for families with low income and social benefits which are provided especially from government agencies is a must.

Regulations, at least the well intentioned ones, try to avoid accidents from ill-designed products. The downside is expensive or never made technology needed by a small number of patients.
After all, dead or injured children due to faulty machinery are very noticeable, whereas unassisted ones (because the technology doesn't exist) is just "a fact of life", and invisible to most (except their parents). "What Is Seen and What Is Not Seen", again.
Same with medicines.
We need a two-tier system: 1) certified and expensive, and 2) best-effort and on your own, but cheap.
