News Article

Recently whilst browsing the web I came across a site describing how a young man had designed her own communciation aid using a laptop and customising 'the grid' software to meet his own needs. 

It has excellent pictures and good descriptions of both the hardware he used and the software and how he has adapted it. 

His new system only cost him £1,500 compared with the  £6,500 machine that he needed replacing and had been waiting 3 years for the NHS to replace.  

Here is full story:

I found story an inspiration and I'm hoping to persue my own idea of creating a communication aid from a Mac based tablet computer and software available on the system.
