Can he press two switches at the same time? Try coding?
And or, step scanning (or halving) - it may be almost as quick as direct
access over such a wide area.
All apart from step scanning 'd need some gadgetry made though.
Cheers.

At £200 the ir3sp is a bit pricey for multiples! I'd considered multiple
Minirelaxes (£190 each for 6 channels). The Pilot is too small for my
clients feet - he's using an extensively modified "big button phone" at the
moment.
I suppose I could set up a switch array driving a pic controlling a prog,
but it seems OTT.
How many buttons do you really need for sky+? I reckon 19.

Barry,
How about RehabTeqs Senior Pilot
(http://www.rteq.co.uk/acatalog/infra_red_control.html).
What about one or more IR3SP Micro Jacks connected with multiple switches?
Would Voice Recognition work is a consistent "sound" could be generated?

Subject: big switch direct access ecs
Dear all
Has anyone come across ecs suitable for direct access with the feet, or
hands with contractures (cerebral palsy)? I need more functions than the 6
offered by Big Jack or MiniRelax, & the access prog isn't big enough for
feet or tactile enough for my hand user.
"Off the wall" suggestions welcome.
