"Keeping in Touch"

Stan has ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Stan enjoys spending time with friends and family. His hobbies include computers, technology, history, geography, the outdoors, and music. Stan has trouble controlling his hands and arms. He uses special computer software to help him with his hobbies. He has also changed some of his hobbies to suit his needs.

Stan uses this technology:

  • ViaVoice from IBM to run his computer using his voice
  • Sicare Light from TASH to use his voice to control his TV, VCR, CD player, tape recorder, telephone
  • email to stay in contact with friends and family who are far away
