Gary and Jordan Ablett have shared how technology is helping create joyful moments for their son Levi.

Gary posted a video of Levi, 2, laughing along while playing a game on the monitor in front of him.

“Technology is pretty incredible!” Ablett wrote on Instagram on Tuesday.

“Levi’s speech pathologist organised this clever device that allows Levi to play independently by simply using his eyes. In this game, he’s moving the bridge to help the ladybug cross the river.”

Jordan reposted the adorable video with a love heart.

Levi was diagnosed with a rare degenerative illness last year and in March Jordan revealed it has a very short life expectancy.

She told the Herald Sun in July that having clarity on the condition has been the most important step as parents for her and ex-AFL champion Gary.

She also created a new forum close to her heart called House of Hope, for parents of special needs children to connect.

“From a medical point of view, the best advice we’ve been given is that ‘knowledge is power’,’’ Jordan said.

“It breaks my heart when I think about all of the parents who are still seeking answers for their children, knowing that there is a problem going unaddressed.

“You can’t offer the best care and treatment for a child without clarity on the condition you’re facing. Despite how hard it was to hear of Levi’s diagnosis, it was the most important step for us to be able to move forward in the right direction.”

Jordan said she wants HoH to be “a place of great support and connection, for relationships and friendships to be established, to open the communication channels, and to celebrate these parents who are superheroes.”

Gary also recently shared that he is taking part in The DadBod Project to spread the word for men’s mental and physical health.

Jordan said Levi always makes his parents proud.

“We’ve been going for plenty of walks along the beach in the pram during lockdown, which he loves,’’ she said.

“He is still just as in love with the Wiggles as he’s ever been, which after a number of repeats, becomes the soundtrack of our insanity during lockdown.

“We’re really proud of him as he continues to show great courage and bravery as he faces the challenges unique to him.”
