Nabble - Assistive Technology

tag:old.nabble.com,2006:forum-21346 Nabble - Assistive Technology 2009-12-06T14:49:38Z In a nutshell, <a href="http://assistech.org.uk/" target="_top" rel="nofollow">Assistive Technology</a> is equipment for people with disabilities. <br>For example: <br>    * Powered wheelchairs; <br>    * Communication Aids (think Stephen Hawking); <br>    * Environmental Control (e.g. opening your door, Telecare, controlling your TV) <br>    * Computer Access (e.g. screen readers). <br><br>It is normally used for ‘techy’ equipment (such as that listed above) but some people argue it includes everything up to and including walking sticks. tag:old.nabble.com,2006:post-26669553 Re: communication apps for iPod touch/iPhone? 2009-12-06T14:49:38Z 2009-12-06T14:49:38Z yumik Hi, I have made the iPhone/iPod Touch app called Voice4u (<a href="http://v.sv4u.net/" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://v.sv4u.net/</a>). <br><br>I am the mother of an autistic son who is fifteen years old.

It is my understanding that the telecare alarm units from <br>all of the major brands distributed in the UK will provide this facility. <br>This means that you should be able to purchase a standard product from <br>Tunstall, Chubb, Cirrus (the Caretech unit), Possum (the Neat unit) or <br>Tynetec. Your choice is only determined by the number of different friends <br>you wish the user to be able to ring before or instead of calling the call <br>centre, the other functionality that you wish to have within the unit, price <br>and aesthetics. <br><br>I hope this helps. <br>  <br>John Hennock <br>Director, HPS Consulting Ltd - Management and technical consultants <br>Specialists in the application of technology to housing and care <br>Tel  +44 (0)121 314 8066     <br>Fax +44 (0)870 762 7696 <br>Web: www.hpsconsulting.com <br><br><br>-----Original Message----- <br>From: A discussion list for Assistive Technology professionals. <br>[mailto:<a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=26655132&i=0" target="_top" rel="nofollow">ASSISTECH@...</a>] On Behalf Of Taylor, Barry <br>Sent: 01 December 2009 10:23 <br>To: <a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=26655132&i=1" target="_top" rel="nofollow">ASSISTECH@...</a> <br>Subject: calling for help by phone <br><br>Dear all <br>Has anyone come across a phone which has the "DIY" help call facilities that <br>the obsolete BT Intouch phone had?  It's the facility where the phone will <br>ring a preselected number in emergency & will go down a list of help numbers <br>looking for a response. <br><br>I know the Possum Sero does it, but I'm looking for one that doesn't have <br>the expense of remote control facilities. <br><br>I've seen telecare fact sheets which say that some systems can be set up to <br>ring selected friends before going to the call centre, but they don't say <br>which ones. <br><br>Barry <br>  <br>Barry Taylor, Clinical Scientist <br>Medical Physics Service <br>Tulley Medical Physics Building, Hull Royal Infirmary Anlaby Road, Hull HU3 <br>2JZ <br><br>****Please note new phone numbers from May 2009: <br>Tel: 01482 608971, Fax: 01482 608951 <br>Internal extension HRI 608971 <br><a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=26655132&i=2" target="_top" rel="nofollow">barry.taylor@...</a> <br><a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=26655132&i=3" target="_top" rel="nofollow">rehabilitation.engineering@...</a> <br>Web page <a href="http://www.hey.nhs.uk" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.hey.nhs.uk</a> & click on A to Z of Departments & then <br>Rehabilitation Engineering <br><br><br><br><br>Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust We Care - Visit us at: <br><a href="http://www.hey.nhs.uk" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.hey.nhs.uk</a><br><br>Please consider the environment before printing this email. <br><br>The content of this email and any attachment is private and confidential.

I need something that WORKS out of the box. My consumer needs a totally hands free phone with a wireless privacy headset. Her current one has horrible quality. I would also like to avoid putting it through the computer, although I guess I could do that.

He (wants to) play 'Football Manager' - a PC based game.  He reported to me that he was not able to click into Football Manager using Dragon, or his Dwell Click software. When I tested this, I found the same - although, occasionally and sporadically, a click would work.  All the drag-clicking software I tested had the same bug. <br><br>I managed to fix this with a small macro in AutoHotKey [1] to essentially swap the clicking method. <br><br>This is the AHK description of the different methods: <a href="http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SendMode.htm" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SendMode.htm</a>  - Football manager works with EVENT, not INPUT methods. I'm not entirely sure about the difference between methods though. <br><br>1)  Anyone come across this before? Are there any other fixes? <br>2)  I now need to work out how to let him drag - any ideas on how to change the macro to do this  (being lazy in asking before I try and experiment with getting it to work!). <br><br>Cheers, <br><br>Simon <br><br>[1] <br>SendMode Event <br>LButton::Click <br><br>Senior Clinical Scientist <br>Assistive Technology Team <br><br><a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=26622928&i=0" target="_top" rel="nofollow">simon.judge@...</a> <br>01226 432159 <br><br>www.barnsleyrd.nhs.uk <br><br>Dept of Medical Physics <br>Block 14 <br>Barnsley District General Hospital Foundation Trust Gawber Road Barnsley <br>S75 2EP <br><br><br><br><br>******************************************************************************************************************** <br><br>This message may contain confidential information.
