    Apple accessibility plans

    Later this year they plan some options for the cognitively challenged and for those with speech loss - text to speech during calls and a 15 minute voice banking process. How or if this can interface with eye gaze isn’t clear to me but every small thing helps 15 minutes to bank for free would...

    App for accessibility - new so far starting in Boston

    https://ahoimate.com/ it is dependent on user input but when a place has information entered it gives a score similar to the way we see neighborhoods getting walk scores when I signed up they had me pick what matters to me like elevators, ramps, parking options, automatic doors, restroom...

    Voice Access App for Android

    I came across an blog post about the Voice Access app for Android. I downloaded it and tried it out on my Samsung tablet. It's very easy to use and would really help PALS who cannot use their hands, but still can use their voice (like my DH). I'd add the link, but I know that can sometimes...

    Switch control communication software

    Quite honestly, I'm trying for days now to make proper use of the search function here but I don't find the concentration to follow through with it. My PALS speech is going quickly and things with health insurance are going slow. Time for improv. We have an old iPad and found out roughly how to...

    Tablet recommendations?

    Hi there, looking for advice for tablet for my mom who has ALS. She has some use of both hands (more on the left) but can't seem to grade the force required to select something on the iPad screen (e.g. If a search throws up lots of items): she can move her hand slowly to where she wants but then...

    Power wheelchair "tie down" systems?

    We have found a nice, reasonably priced, used van that is going out to be converted for rear-entry wheelchair accessibility. They normally use the "QRT Standard Q-straint", which appears to be a basic Q-straint system. I am thinking I should at least upgrade to the Q-straint MAX or deluxe...
