Watch out for another defect of computer controlled wheel chairs,
They tend to misbehave when around two way radio devices such as
cellular phones, cbs, etc. they take off in the most unusual
directions

                                       Bob

PS too bad they dont have lemon laws for wheel chairs as a similar
problem was had by a friend of mine B

[This is from the Chronic Pain Conference]

 [DV] It has been shown that excessive pain delays the healing
 [DV] process. It is better for you to get the medication BEFORE
 [DV] it all wears off, it is easier to maintain a level of pain
 [DV] relief than to attain it. Does that make sense?

It makes a lot of sense.  What some medical professionals are now
beginning to realize, is not only that adults are sometimes
under-medicated, but that a lot of infants and children are also.
People seemed to have assumed that small children don't need or
shouldn't have as much pain relief as adults.  What is the basis for
this kind of thinking?  Do they think the child won't remember the
pain, or that they don't feel pain as adults do?  Incredible.  It
really slows healing for everyone to have to go through pain.
Thankfully, all this is changing.

Sorry to jump in on your conversation, but I just thought you might
like to hear from another person with CP who leads a "normal, happy
life." I have CP, and I've graduated from college and earned a
driver's liscence. So although CP varies a lot in different people,
you CAN still accomplish a lot. Best of luck with your daughter.

I remember several old ones, but I don't know their names.  There
was one, I think it might have been an L. C. Smith, but I am not
sure, but it rolled the paper around the roller, and on the carage
return was an automatic line advance like a typewriter.  Then there
was an older one, and this one, I probably never knew the name, but
it rolled the paper inside of a cylinder, and you had to advance
each line your self by turning the knob.

   I think you have a bigger problem than you realize! :-)  How are
you going to build, let alone design, a kiosk that can change to
accommodate the needs of different disabilities. For starters, the
person with a cane or crutches needs a seat while a wheelie needs
the space to roll in.  The blind needs a speech synthesizer (and
maybe braille readout) while someone with a hearing loss may find
the noise from a synthesizer annoying.  Some people need the
keyboard at different heights; others need special keyboards.
   I wish you the best of luck, but I have trouble visualizing "one
kiosk fits all"!  :-)
   Just for the record, I am hearing and sight impaired. My only
needs would be a screen with good contrast that doesn't get any
reflections from light sources, and enough space so that my hearing
aid doesn't pick up sound feedback.

I am looking for a system to replace an existing keyboard on

who cannot use his hands to type, nor can he use any type
of pick device.  A headset with attached microphone, which
could be programmed to respond to either letters or words
which would then be decoded and input to the PC as if
a key board were being typed.

If anyone has any information for me on how I can obtain
an address or email account of someone who makes and sells
these devices would be greatly appreciated.

His speach is clear and normal, only his movement is limited.

I would like some kind of direction as soon as possible to
get this person back into the independent life style he
once knew.

Janet,

OK, this gives me more information! I read your post on NE-SPED and
replied to it first. I work with some deaf university students who do
have some difficulty translating from Exact English to ASL, which they
were brought up speaking. However, they were also taught to read exact
English as well, so their difficulty is not so great. At least, they
speak with ASL, but read and write English fairly well.

Again, I don't have any research to back this up. Let me know if you
want me to try to get some authors.

Hi,
in the german magazine "Horus" I read an article about the CSUN
Conference in los angeles.

The author describes in a short way a braille printer produced
by BLAZIE ENGINEERING. Is there anybody who can send me the address of
this company. Also I'm interessed of addresses of companies producing
speach synthezisers and software for working on an PC.

Is anybody who has experience in using the BSI speach system,

I recieved a message from someone in Canada who said that all that (s)he

ask for a bottle of Generic Tylenol Ones -- the price for that is $4.27.
On the other hand, Brand 222s cost about $10 to $11 a bottle. (The
medication is NOT on the shelves, but the pharmacists have it on the
back shelves and will get it for you.)
   I appreciate the feedback and would have responded directly, but
couldn't figure out how to direct a message back.

Dale, I found out that I was incorrect.  The Braille 'N Speak
Classic is still available.  The macro capabilities have been
expanded a bit, and the number of pages has been made a little
larger, but it is basicly the same otherwise.  Oh yes, you no
longer can buy the classic without the calculator, so the only
classic is the classic with the calculator priced at $995.  In my
opinion, and my opinion only, that is what I would buy if I really
wanted a notetaker.  The 640 has some real nice features, but I
think that for myself I would probably figure I could get by
without some of the frills.

        If I could have all the access technology I want I wouldn't have anywhere to put it!!!

Hi, my father-in-law has RSDS, & my mother-in-law knows a lot more
about it than I do.  Her name is Joyce.  I do know, however, that
amputation is NOT an answer for curing the pain.  If you would
leave a message we could get back to you with more info.  I know
they are wanting to start a support group for people who have
cronic pain.  I also know that they have been to see an RSDS
specialist in South Bend IN, and are going to Cleveland to see the
TOP OF THE LINE SPECIALIST IN AMERICA!!!  He has had this for three
years now and it too is in his foot and leg and unfortunatly is
spreading.  So HOPEFULLY they will be able to stop the cycle when
he goes to Cleveland.

                                        Hope to hear from ya!!!

Ok, who's the culprit?

I received a very nice surprise in the mail today.  A lady sent me a metal slate and stylus.  In her braille letter, she said that she had read my notice in the O S Magazine asking for a slate.

So, what is the O S Magazine?

I first thought maybe the Library of Congress had assigned me
someone to pen pal with, until I transcribed her letter.  See, I
had received a plastic slate in the mail about a week ago.  I
thought maybe someone from the Library of Congress had sent it to
me.

This is very nice of whoever did this, and I would like to thank them.

 NT> Hello Mary....

 NT> that does work is called Toridal (not sure on the spelling).

Nadine, Thanks so much for writing.  I have heard of Toridal, but have never
had it.  Do you administer it yourself?  I feel like I need to go to
a doctor who is more willing to work with me.  Just the thought of
going through all the evaluation, tests, false hopes that something
can help - is too much right now.  I am going to have surgery on my
right elbow and wrist on the same nerve that runs by the funny bone
and at the wrist below the little finger and next finger.  It is
pinched at both areas.  A few months later the nerve below the thumb
will have surgery and the thumb joint is deteriorated and will have
to be repaired or a new joint made.

I did not realize at first that "deteriorated joint" meant arthritis.
I am 43 and feel like this is happening much too young!  This surgery
is on my right hand and I am right-handed.  This is going to be
extremely difficult since I am already limited in what I can do
because of my back.  I love to cross stitch and crochet.  I also have
taken violin for two years.  This will have to be on hold for awhile.
I will probably use the computer even more.

When I asked the doctor if I would be able to play the violin after
surgery, he thought I was joking!  Remember the old joke that the man
asks the doctor if he will be able to play the piano after surgery.
The doctor asks if he could play before - he answers no. {g}  It does
help to laugh, doesn't it?

I will keep in touch with you and let me know how you are doing.
Thanks for your message, it really does help.

I don't *think* Tylenol #4 is straight codine, Jackie.  I get
switched from Vidodin to Tylenol #4 and back and forth so I won't
get used to either one and become dependent on them.  As I
understand it, Vicodin is stronger than Tylenol #4 (or so I've been
told by somebody).

Speech Recognition: is anybody out there experimenting

perhaps there are some rudimentary forms that would be
useful, especially for the hearing impaired, like myself.

If there were a system that did nothing more than recognize
individually pronounced characters, it would help me
on the phone a lot. So that when someone starts spelling
their name to me, or giving a number, it would show up

Arthur,

I am not sure who told you this information, but my Father has RSDS
and he originally got it in his left leg and it has spread to his
right leg and now it is in his arms.  My father has seen over 18
doctors in the three years of having RSDS and some of them did not
know what he had and when he explained to them that he had RSDS,
some of the doctors didn't know what it was.  This is why there is
such a need for some form of "education" for doctors.  Anyways, my
father's treating physician is an RSDS specialist in South Bend,
IN. and he would tell you that it does spread.  We have contacted a
couple of specialists in RSDS and have gone to the medical library
to get photo copies and even disks with information and it all
shows that RSDS will spread.  As a matter of fact, the doctors
around here that did not know what RSDS was basically told Dad to
push himself and they would "see what happens".

This "pushing oneself" can and normally does cause it to get worse
and/or spread.  Just sharing a little info.

                             Later...  Mike.

I saw the Everest out at the convention in Phoenix.  It would
probably be a decent unit for some applications, but it only prints
on single sheets of paper and costs around 6 thousand dollars.  I
loke some of its features though, like the built in Grade 2
translator.
