Posted on October 23, 2007 by David Austin

Here a woman has been able to write, shop, do her banking, communicate and design her own websites.  She has a pivotal role in the household because of technology.  As she says in this video.  The computer has saved her life.

Marie-France has lost her voice and can only move a jaw muscle because of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Motor Neurone Disease (MND) or Lou Gherigs Disease. She shows how, with a single switch and AssistiveWare's Proloquo, KeyStrokes and SwitchXS software, she continues to perform a pivotal role in the household by doing the shopping, managing the bank accounts and even designing her own web site.

And here is the website of the company involved in this technology.
