Anton is 11. He lost his right arm in a car accident.

0:00:180:00:22

There's nothing I can't do.

0:00:220:00:26

I can go on my bike, I can play football, I can run around.

0:00:260:00:30

I like going fast.

0:00:310:00:33

Olivia is seven.

0:00:330:00:35

Her left arm ends at the elbow and her legs below the knee.

0:00:350:00:38

These are my high-heel legs.

0:00:380:00:42

They go down like a slide.

0:00:420:00:46

Both are getting the latest in high-tech designer limbs.

0:00:460:00:50

But what difference will it make to their lives?

0:00:510:00:55

I'm looking forward to getting them

0:00:550:00:57

because they'll just look like real feat.

0:00:570:00:59

I can pick stuff up and control it,

0:00:590:01:01

and show it to people and they'll be amazed.

0:01:010:01:03

Anton lives near Manchester with his mum and his brother and sisters.

0:01:130:01:18

I'm Anton.

0:01:180:01:19

We're with Matvey and Anna and we're on the trampoline.

0:01:190:01:23

He is my brother and the one who's a bit scared is my sister.

0:01:230:01:32

You.

0:01:320:01:35

I lost my arm in a car crash in 2007.

0:01:390:01:43

I was kind of trying to go to sleep and then I felt the car shake

0:01:430:01:46

and then I got knocked out,

0:01:460:01:48

and then I woke up on the floor with blood around me and my arm was gone.

0:01:480:01:53

It was very bad and I think we are lucky to be alive, all of us,

0:01:530:01:59

because the whole family was in the car.

0:01:590:02:01

The biggest challenge for us was to accept the fact that

0:02:010:02:05

he lost his arm and he won't have his arm back.

0:02:050:02:10

Then we started getting used to the fact that there is no arm.

0:02:100:02:16

I was right-handed before the accident

0:02:160:02:20

and then I became left-handed,

0:02:200:02:22

and it was pretty hard to learn how to draw.

0:02:220:02:26

On my first day, I tried to draw Winnie the Pooh

0:02:260:02:28

but it didn't look right, it looked like a hairball.

0:02:280:02:32

And now I'm really good at drawing and over the years,

0:02:320:02:35

I've become a lot better.

0:02:350:02:37

But it was harder to start writing

0:02:430:02:45

because it felt like I had to flip the letters over.

0:02:450:02:48

There's nothing I can't do.

0:02:480:02:52

I can go on my bike, I can play football,

0:02:520:02:55

I can run around, I can go to the park and go with my friends.

0:02:550:02:59

Anton steers his bike by pushing and pulling with his left arm.

0:03:040:03:08

I'm just going up this speed bump, going to keep going.

0:03:080:03:11

When I turn right, it's harder to turn right than left

0:03:110:03:17

because I push on my left handlebar.

0:03:170:03:21

When I turn left, it's easier, I don't need to lean.

0:03:210:03:24

To get where I am now took about three months. I was really wobbly.

0:03:240:03:30

I kept trying and then I could ride.

0:03:300:03:32

His one-handed cycling is pretty impressive.

0:03:320:03:37

I wouldn't be able to do it that well for the first day

0:03:370:03:39

but if I carried on trying and trying, I'd properly get there

0:03:390:03:43

in the end but still wouldn't be as good as Anton is now.

0:03:430:03:47

Anton's taught himself to play computer games with one hand too.

0:03:470:03:51

He gives his older brother Matvey a run for his money.

0:03:510:03:55

Well, I hold it like this and move both my joysticks,

0:03:550:03:58

and this button here, that one, is to run.

0:03:580:04:03

I think I can go as fast as my brother can with two hands.

0:04:030:04:07

He's always top on the list. He's still much better than me at it.

0:04:070:04:11

-You won.

-I know.

0:04:160:04:18

I don't want people to feel sorry for me

0:04:180:04:22

because then they stop acting normal, start acting strange

0:04:220:04:25

and then they keep asking if I need help when I don't really need help.

0:04:250:04:30

Doctors gave Anton fake arms called prosthetic arms,

0:04:300:04:34

but he preferred not to wear them.

0:04:340:04:36

When I first got my first arm, I didn't like it

0:04:360:04:41

because it got in the way of stuff like running, writing and football.

0:04:410:04:47

I also stopped wearing it because it broke.

0:04:470:04:50

This one doesn't look realistic, it looks like a fat person's hand,

0:04:500:04:55

and this one looks realistic

0:04:550:04:56

but it looks like a freaky girl's hand from a movie.

0:04:560:05:00

All that's about to change as Anton is one of only a handful

0:05:000:05:04

of children to get an advanced robotic arm

0:05:040:05:07

called a myoelectric arm.

0:05:070:05:10

Soon I'm going to get a myoelectric arm and I'm going to...

0:05:100:05:13

get excited about it because I can show it to my friends.

0:05:130:05:16

I can also pick stuff up and squish them and throw stuff around.

0:05:160:05:20

I can control it and show it to people,

0:05:200:05:23

and they'll be amazed.

0:05:230:05:24

Olivia is seven. She lives in Cumbria with her mum.

0:05:360:05:40

When I was two,

0:05:400:05:44

I had meningitis.

0:05:440:05:48

If I didn't get my legs and my arm chopped off,

0:05:480:05:53

I would have died.

0:05:530:05:58

Since her operation, Olivia has had many pairs of fake legs.

0:05:580:06:03

These are my high-heel legs.

0:06:040:06:08

They're not straight, they go down like a slide.

0:06:080:06:14

Olivia was about to die at any moment

0:06:170:06:20

and we were told that the amputations might save her life.

0:06:200:06:24

We were elated by that, the fact that her life could be saved from that,

0:06:240:06:28

so we wanted it to happen.

0:06:280:06:30

We didn't know if she was going to be brain-damaged, or deaf, or blind.

0:06:300:06:35

We just wanted our little daughter saved and would deal with the rest.

0:06:350:06:39

Olivia's got a good answer for people who ask what happened.

0:06:460:06:50

A crocodile bit my legs off.

0:06:500:06:53

She had to learn to walk all over again

0:06:540:06:58

but to everyone's amazement, it didn't take very long.

0:06:580:07:01

I actually didn't think she would ever walk in prosthetic legs

0:07:010:07:06

and, literally, it was six weeks, two months later

0:07:060:07:10

that she started walking on her legs. It was amazing.

0:07:100:07:13

Today there is little Olivia can't do.

0:07:160:07:20

With her legs on she is as mobile as all her friends.

0:07:200:07:22

We're starting horse riding in the summer and I don't know

0:07:220:07:27

when we're going trampolining again.

0:07:270:07:31

Over the years, Olivia has had lots of legs and arms

0:07:310:07:34

but she is not always happy about how they look.

0:07:340:07:37

I don't really like the feet because they're yellow

0:07:370:07:44

and they don't look real.

0:07:440:07:47

We thought, "Well, she's entitled to have realistic looking skin.

0:07:470:07:51

-"Everyone else does, why shouldn't she?"

-There is an alternative.

0:07:510:07:55

A covering which looks and feels exactly like real human skin.

0:07:550:07:59

It's expensive but thanks to a charity,

0:07:590:08:02

Olivia has been given the money to get some made.

0:08:020:08:05

I'm really excited about getting my new legs.

0:08:060:08:10

I think they're going to look more like my friends' legs

0:08:100:08:14

because they've got the real skin on them.

0:08:140:08:17

Since his accident three years ago, Anton has learned to do a lot

0:08:230:08:26

with just one arm but some things are still a problem,

0:08:260:08:30

cycling uphill for instance.

0:08:300:08:32

I can for a bit and then I start to slow down and then eventually

0:08:320:08:36

I start to go backwards,

0:08:360:08:37

so I just get off and carry my bike over the hill.

0:08:370:08:39

And artificial arms he's had in the past haven't helped.

0:08:440:08:48

My first one didn't do anything.

0:08:480:08:50

All it can do is just spin and then my second one was like a hand,

0:08:500:08:54

but I had to push with my shoulder and that hurt, just to get it open.

0:08:540:09:00

It didn't really do anything but get in the way.

0:09:000:09:03

And so Anton's got high expectations for his new myoelectric arm.

0:09:040:09:09

My robotic arm isn't finished yet but I know how it will work.

0:09:130:09:16

Every time I move a muscle,

0:09:190:09:21

it sends a tiny electrical signal.

0:09:210:09:24

When I'm move these two muscles in my stump,

0:09:270:09:29

their electrical signals will be picked up by the sensors

0:09:290:09:33

at the top of my robot arm.

0:09:330:09:35

The sensors then send a message to the motor,

0:09:350:09:37

which opens and closes the hand.

0:09:370:09:40

If I move this muscle,

0:09:430:09:44

the hand will open.

0:09:440:09:46

If I move this muscle...

0:09:470:09:48

it will close.

0:09:480:09:50

So I'm in charge.

0:09:510:09:54

In Cumbria, Olivia's off to hospital.

0:09:580:10:01

She's taking the first step

0:10:010:10:03

towards getting her more lifelike arm and legs.

0:10:030:10:06

Hiya.

0:10:060:10:09

Give him wave.

0:10:100:10:11

Yeah. There's Neil.

0:10:110:10:14

Neil and his team have been making prosthetic limbs for Olivia

0:10:140:10:18

since she was two.

0:10:180:10:19

They always fit well, but Olivia thinks they look fake.

0:10:200:10:24

Almost like a shop dummy's.

0:10:240:10:26

That's because the covering they put on here is very basic

0:10:280:10:31

and the feet are a different colour.

0:10:310:10:34

But this time, Neil and his team will send her limbs away

0:10:340:10:37

to another clinic to have amazing lifelike skin put on.

0:10:370:10:40

What's he going to do?

0:10:440:10:45

He's going to get some powdery stuff out of the packet

0:10:450:10:52

and put it in the water and it will go all gooey

0:10:520:10:54

and he's going to put it all over my legs.

0:10:540:10:57

Today, Olivia is having a plaster cast made...

0:10:570:11:00

-It's cold.

-Is that cold?

0:11:000:11:03

-..so Neil can make sure her new legs fit.

-What does it feel like?

0:11:030:11:08

-Er, gooey.

-Does it?

0:11:080:11:11

-Oh, that's it.

-That's how we want it, isn't it?

0:11:130:11:17

Next week, once Neil has made Olivia's new arm and legs,

0:11:170:11:20

he will send them away to the specialist skin clinic in London

0:11:200:11:24

so they can be made to look like real ones.

0:11:240:11:26

Your arm's all red, Neil.

0:11:290:11:31

-And white!

-Red and white.

0:11:310:11:34

In Manchester, Anton has also got an important appointment.

0:11:370:11:40

We're going to PACE to have a look at my robotic arm.

0:11:410:11:45

And then...

0:11:450:11:46

And I'm going to get some hot chocolate.

0:11:460:11:50

PACE is the special clinic that's making Anton's new arm.

0:11:580:12:02

This is Toby.

0:12:030:12:05

He helps me with the robotic arm that I'm going to get.

0:12:050:12:09

I think next week, it is, I'll get it.

0:12:090:12:11

We will need your T-shirt off your shoulder, I think.

0:12:110:12:16

Today, Toby, the engineer, will test the sensors which will

0:12:160:12:19

eventually be fitted to the top of Anton's robotic arm.

0:12:190:12:22

-Is this the right way round, can you remember?

-I think so.

0:12:220:12:26

It's complicated. But Anton knows exactly what's going on.

0:12:260:12:29

When I move my front muscle, that senses it

0:12:300:12:34

and sends the signal through this wire and into the machine,

0:12:340:12:37

so then if I move a muscle there, the red one goes up.

0:12:370:12:42

Then the back one goes through this wire. That's my back muscle.

0:12:420:12:46

The stronger I move my muscles, the higher the signals go.

0:12:480:12:51

-Can you do the front one?

-Yeah.

-Excellent. Very good.

0:12:510:12:55

And the back one?

0:12:550:12:56

When Anton's arm is built, the wires will carry the electrical

0:12:560:13:01

-signals to the motor that moves his robotic hand.

-OK.

0:13:010:13:07

Toby is adjusting both sensors

0:13:070:13:08

-so he can get a clear signal from each muscle.

-Is that OK?

-Yeah.

0:13:080:13:12

Let me turn this one slightly.

0:13:120:13:15

Anton had to pass tests to get to this stage.

0:13:150:13:18

Not everyone has enough muscle control to work a robotic arm.

0:13:180:13:22

OK, that looks good.

0:13:220:13:24

So one of those will open the hand and the other one will close it.

0:13:240:13:29

That's all there is to it today, I think.

0:13:300:13:32

Olivia's come to a clinic in London to see for herself

0:13:370:13:40

the amazing skin which will eventually cover

0:13:400:13:43

her new arm and legs.

0:13:430:13:44

-Yes!

-How are you, Olivia? It is nice to see you. My name is Abdo.

0:13:440:13:49

-Can you say "Abdo"? Come on.

-Say it, then?

-Come on!

0:13:490:13:54

Abdo specialises in making silicone skin that looks

0:13:540:13:58

and feels incredibly realistic.

0:13:580:14:00

He will make a kind of boot like this one,

0:14:040:14:06

which will pull on over Olivia's fake leg.

0:14:060:14:09

It's got spots, or something. Look at the little nail.

0:14:090:14:14

Is that supposed to be a freckle?

0:14:170:14:19

Don't want freckles.

0:14:190:14:21

Ah, it feels weird!

0:14:250:14:28

-That is big.

-Yeah.

0:14:330:14:35

Ohh! It looks like a man's one.

0:14:400:14:43

It IS a man's one.

0:14:430:14:45

Look, it's got a vein sticking out there.

0:14:450:14:48

Ahh, feel the hairs.

0:14:480:14:51

-So you don't want hairy legs?

-No.

0:14:530:14:55

This is for somebody else, it's not your one.

0:14:560:14:59

Your one is made to your colour.

0:14:590:15:02

And you can choose what shaped toes you want.

0:15:020:15:05

You can choose to have them long, if you want the nails square,

0:15:050:15:08

if you want the nails round.

0:15:080:15:09

If you want a big toe bigger than the second toe.

0:15:090:15:12

If you want the second toe bigger than the big toe.

0:15:120:15:14

You can choose what you like.

0:15:140:15:16

Olivia has never liked her yellow-looking feet.

0:15:160:15:19

So now she'll be able to have handmade toes

0:15:190:15:22

with gaps between them.

0:15:220:15:24

-Probably most likely, Olivia would want a split toe.

-Definitely, yes.

0:15:240:15:28

So it will look much nicer.

0:15:280:15:29

The nice thing is they can be washed and cleaned like a normal foot.

0:15:290:15:32

The don't stain if even ink comes on them and so on.

0:15:320:15:35

And they are very durable.

0:15:350:15:37

Olivia wants Abdo to paint a little picture on one of her legs.

0:15:370:15:40

-A dolphin.

-Yeah, where would you like a dolphin. Somewhere up here?

0:15:400:15:46

Next, Abdo takes a cast of Olivia's right hand...

0:15:470:15:50

-Do you think it will be cold or warm?

-Cold.

0:15:500:15:55

-..so he can make her a realistic left hand.

-And up. Very good.

0:15:550:15:59

And it captures all the little details.

0:15:590:16:03

Smells nice, no? Doesn't it?

0:16:030:16:06

We are going to start with the hand.

0:16:090:16:13

Abdo uses a special camera to record Olivia's skin colours.

0:16:130:16:16

That's because each part of her body is a slightly different shade.

0:16:160:16:19

Because this hand doesn't get much sun, and the top of the thigh too.

0:16:190:16:24

The cast of Olivia's right hand shows every tiny

0:16:240:16:27

detail of the lines in her palms,

0:16:270:16:29

the creases on her knuckles and the shape of her nails.

0:16:290:16:32

-Adding all this detail takes time.

-Ohh!

0:16:370:16:42

Around two days for each limb.

0:16:420:16:45

It will be a least a month before Abdo and his team can put

0:16:450:16:48

the finishing touches to Olivia's new arm and legs.

0:16:480:16:52

-Thanks.

-You are welcome.

0:16:530:16:57

Ah, you are strong, aren't you?

0:16:570:16:59

Right, nice meeting you. Take care. Thank you.

0:16:590:17:03

In Manchester, it is a week since Anton tested out the sensors

0:17:030:17:07

for his new robotic arm.

0:17:070:17:09

Yeah, I make my hot chocolate every time I come in.

0:17:090:17:12

Toby's got some good news.

0:17:120:17:14

Anton's robotic arm is charged up and ready

0:17:170:17:20

and he's going to put it through its paces.

0:17:200:17:22

Are you looking forward to trying it out?

0:17:220:17:25

Um...yeah.

0:17:250:17:27

The myoelectric arm works by picking up the electrical

0:17:310:17:34

signals which naturally occur whenever we move a muscle.

0:17:340:17:37

When Anton moves these two muscles,

0:17:400:17:42

the signals should be picked up by sensors at the top of his new arm.

0:17:420:17:46

Before his accident, these muscles moved Anton's shoulder,

0:17:470:17:52

elbow and upper arm.

0:17:520:17:53

Now their messages will be sent to the motor which opens

0:17:550:17:58

and closes his hand.

0:17:580:18:00

That's the theory. But will it work in practice?

0:18:020:18:06

That's fine.

0:18:080:18:09

Anton is having to retrain the muscles at the top of his arm

0:18:110:18:15

to control his electronic hand.

0:18:150:18:16

It's pretty amazing!

0:18:160:18:19

How does that seem?

0:18:210:18:23

But it will take lots of patience and lots of practice.

0:18:260:18:30

Eventually, as Anton grows, he will have an arm big enough to fit

0:18:350:18:39

extra motors for the elbow and wrist.

0:18:390:18:41

How does that seem?

0:18:450:18:48

Stiff. Good.

0:18:480:18:50

-OK?

-Yep.

0:18:510:18:53

If you stand up for me...

0:18:530:18:55

The last time Anton picked something up with his right hand,

0:18:560:18:59

it was his own real hand, not a robotic one.

0:18:590:19:02

The task is open that, pour it in there

0:19:060:19:09

and then hold on to the mug whilst you're stirring it.

0:19:090:19:12

We don't mind some spilling.

0:19:140:19:17

If he passes this test,

0:19:190:19:21

his robotic arm will get some finishing touches

0:19:210:19:23

to make it look more realistic.

0:19:230:19:25

Use it to stabilise items

0:19:270:19:29

and support items that you're doing something with with your left hand.

0:19:290:19:33

So that's basically how you can use it.

0:19:380:19:41

Anton has passed the test and with flying colours.

0:19:430:19:47

I was surprised when I saw him picking this up

0:19:470:19:50

and he was very confident. He wasn't scared.

0:19:500:19:54

He's always confident - maybe that's why!

0:19:550:19:57

It's fun. And it's helpful.

0:19:580:20:01

In London,

0:20:040:20:05

Abdo's team are close to finishing Olivia's lifelike arm and legs.

0:20:050:20:10

They have stretched the skin onto her new false limbs

0:20:110:20:14

and while the silicon is still soft, they add all the details.

0:20:140:20:19

The technician cuts a piece out of each toe,

0:20:190:20:22

so the handmade nails can get a realistic fit.

0:20:220:20:26

Now just sits on like that.

0:20:280:20:31

The veins and freckles will be painted on

0:20:310:20:33

once the silicon is completely dry.

0:20:330:20:35

Put the last one in now.

0:20:370:20:38

All the detailing is done by hand.

0:20:430:20:45

All the creases done with little tools.

0:20:450:20:48

There's more detail on the hand, as you can see on the palm.

0:20:480:20:51

Much more creases and more veins up in the wrist.

0:20:510:20:57

Little white tips you can put on, little half moons.

0:20:570:21:01

It will have taken a total of seven days

0:21:010:21:03

to make Olivia's three limbs look realistic.

0:21:030:21:07

Back home in Cumbria, Olivia can't wait.

0:21:120:21:16

I'm looking forward to getting them

0:21:160:21:18

because when I do they'll just look like real feet.

0:21:180:21:23

And people won't really recognise that they're fake.

0:21:230:21:31

And then they'll probably say to me, "They've grown back."

0:21:310:21:36

Anton's wait is over. His robotic arm is finished.

0:21:490:21:52

This is my first time ever at home with my electric arm.

0:21:520:21:56

Since he last saw it,

0:21:560:21:58

the orange prongs have been covered with a plastic glove.

0:21:580:22:01

Now, can I go pick something up?

0:22:050:22:07

Try maybe this.

0:22:090:22:11

TV switch.

0:22:120:22:14

This is not a simple task. Anton is having to retrain his muscles...

0:22:170:22:22

Pass me the switch.

0:22:220:22:24

..to do things they've never done before.

0:22:240:22:27

Thank you.

0:22:270:22:29

Sometimes I can struggle to build, because I really love building.

0:22:330:22:37

It could help me eat or cook because I could hold a bowl still

0:22:370:22:41

and then I could mix it with my left hand.

0:22:410:22:45

No, it's too slippery.

0:22:480:22:50

Anton's not been able to open a bottle

0:22:500:22:52

since his accident three years ago.

0:22:520:22:54

His mum usually has to step in.

0:22:560:22:58

There.

0:22:580:23:01

-Ta-da!

-I opened a bottle.

0:23:010:23:03

That's nice, thank you.

0:23:030:23:04

A big achievement

0:23:050:23:07

but there's a bit more work needed on the letting go muscle.

0:23:070:23:10

Give it to me.

0:23:100:23:14

And there's one more thing to have a go at.

0:23:140:23:18

At first, he'll see how he does on the driveway.

0:23:180:23:21

I'm going to sit down and then I'm going to open it.

0:23:210:23:25

Then I'm going to put that on, then I'm going to close it,

0:23:290:23:32

then I'm going to turn it off so it doesn't open.

0:23:320:23:35

BEEP

0:23:350:23:37

I want to be able to pick up my handlebars on my bike

0:23:370:23:41

when I'm riding it.

0:23:410:23:42

My friends can do that but I can't. I think this might be able to help me.

0:23:420:23:47

So far, so good.

0:23:470:23:49

Balancing with his new robotic arm is a great start.

0:23:490:23:52

I get a little bit frustrated when I expect something to work,

0:23:520:23:56

then I keep trying different stuff

0:23:560:23:58

and on and on and it just doesn't work.

0:23:580:24:01

Ow, that's hurting.

0:24:020:24:04

Having to rethink everything about the way you do things

0:24:040:24:08

is a massive challenge but Anton isn't going to give up.

0:24:080:24:11

It's harder to use than I thought it would be.

0:24:110:24:16

I can throw stuff.

0:24:230:24:25

In Cumbria, Olivia's got her new

0:24:280:24:30

realistic-looking arm and legs at last

0:24:300:24:33

and her friend Gemma is filming it all.

0:24:330:24:35

-Who's this then?

-Gemma.

-Hello.

0:24:350:24:40

SHE GIGGLES

0:24:400:24:42

-Has that got the dolphin on?

-Yeah.

-Have a look.

0:24:420:24:47

I've never seen anybody else with a dolphin on their leg before,

0:24:470:24:51

like, in that place.

0:24:510:24:53

It's the details with all the stuff on her legs.

0:24:530:24:57

They're amazing.

0:24:570:24:59

Do a twirl, come on.

0:24:590:25:00

I think they're real feet.

0:25:030:25:04

I don't know whose is whose, which is which.

0:25:040:25:07

-I'm getting confused.

-That's mine, that's yours. No!

0:25:070:25:11

-Look at the difference between those feet.

-I've got bigger feet.

0:25:110:25:15

I know,

0:25:150:25:16

and you can actually paint those and take them off whenever you like.

0:25:160:25:19

It's a good thing.

0:25:190:25:21

-You don't get veins either.

-You don't get anything.

0:25:210:25:25

-You don't get long nails.

-You don't get the lines, do you?

0:25:250:25:29

They haven't got lines. They have. They haven't got lines there.

0:25:290:25:32

They have. That's the difference.

0:25:320:25:35

Put your arms out.

0:25:350:25:36

No, like, down a bit so we can see which is real, which isn't.

0:25:370:25:41

I think that one's real and that ain't.

0:25:410:25:45

I'm really pleased with them and she's excited too.

0:25:470:25:51

She thinks they look really real and that makes her happy.

0:25:510:25:54

The skin matches her skin as well, the colour, so, yeah,

0:25:540:25:57

really pleased with them.

0:25:570:25:59

They just look like the legs Olivia would've had

0:26:000:26:03

if they hadn't been amputated when she was two and a half.

0:26:030:26:07

At Brownies last night, somebody thought my legs were real.

0:26:070:26:11

Anton's not quite ready to get back on his bike

0:26:180:26:21

but for the past five weeks,

0:26:210:26:23

he's been practising doing other things with his robotic arm.

0:26:230:26:27

At the start I found it a bit heavy and uncomfortable,

0:26:270:26:30

but I'm starting to get used to it

0:26:300:26:33

because I wear it more often and practise with it.

0:26:330:26:36

He's been getting help from Kaye. She works with Toby at the clinic.

0:26:360:26:40

-Have you been managing to do zips before?

-Yeah.

0:26:400:26:43

You've found your own kind of way of doing it.

0:26:430:26:45

A new zip as well, you see.

0:26:450:26:47

Oh, well done!

0:26:470:26:49

She said I've done well with the blocks and Lego pieces.

0:26:500:26:55

I found the Lego pieces a bit tricky

0:26:550:26:58

but the blocks are really fun and easy.

0:26:580:27:00

Don't be afraid to pass it to your left hand.

0:27:000:27:03

-SHE LAUGHS

-Did you try to throw it in then?

0:27:030:27:09

Anton is still working out

0:27:120:27:13

how to make the best use of his robotic arm.

0:27:130:27:16

It doesn't help me for some stuff and for other stuff it helps me.

0:27:160:27:20

But with or without it,

0:27:210:27:24

he's determined that nothing will get in the way

0:27:240:27:27

of having fun with his mates.

0:27:270:27:30

-If you can do it, I can do it.

-Nobody ever asks questions

0:27:300:27:33

and he just fits in and we just treat him normal.

0:27:330:27:36

Hold on tight.

0:27:360:27:37

He pushes himself a lot.

0:27:370:27:39

That's easy. That was mint.

0:27:390:27:41

I was really afraid of my future but now I'm really happy about it

0:27:410:27:46

because I know that I can do anything I want.
