888DAG.com >>> My daughter worked at the Spastic Centre a few months ago and was going to visit some of the members at their home so as I have met everyone there I decided to go with her to say hi and to interview them.
Four woman live in the one house and all of them are wheelchair bound only one can stand but all of them cannot talk and have varying degrees of cerebral palsey. The first one I interviewed has a pad where her head rests and manages (I dont know how) to punch out letters with her head and then the computer talks and says what she tells it to. She gave a 4 minute talk on how she would change the world if she could and it was so unbelievably unbelievable that I was in awe.
The second woman can only use one finger and she punches the keyboards and her computer also talks.
These woman are so bright it is really amazing. They have both done Tafe courses and have the loveliest personalities and are always laughing. It really makes one feel inadequate. They have to be tube fed and bathed in a chair and cannot do anything for themselves and are so happy it is amazing.
One of them is the Botcha champion and they have medals hanging all over the room as well as trophies.
What do we ever have to complain about!!!!!
