Computers For People With A Disability

[Dollie]

Hello - my friend is severely disabled - she can only move her head. She speaks well and can use her facial muscles but everthing else is paralysed, inc. her hands. Does anyone know of a computer that she would be able to use - if indeed they have them for people with no hands. For other things, like changing tv chanels etc. she has a 'thing' round her neck which she can operate with her chin - any advice at all would be really welcome - thank you

does she have an occupational therapist. If she does, they can probably refer her to the local reenablement centre. What illness does she have? maybe a specific disability droup could help ie if she has mnd, she could ask the mnda for help

she has advanced M.S. and does not attend any groups but she does have a social worker.
