This is another one of my short articles that, among other things, gives
expression to some or other aspect of my condition and the difficulties I
face in getting these matters corrected. In previous articles about my
physiology, my concern is to describe the kind of progressive reduction that
comes about under a degenerative muscular condition such as Friedreich’s
Ataxia. Here I focus upon a problem with technology and how the problem
interacts with my disability. I hope these articles can be helpful to others
undergoing similar circumstances and assist carers and family members to
devise creative strategies to overcome the persistent frustrations.
I discuss the failures of relying solely on technology as solutions for
disability. In particular, I focus on my individualistic style of
Friedreich's Ataxia and the current buzzer system that is in place in the
group home where I reside. Read it here:
