iansyst Newsletter February 2010 from dyslexic.com
Welcome
I need help, lots of it and my colleagues would probably agree saying ‘Oh yes, Mrs T definitely needs help!’. Anyway I wrote an article about switches and what they are used for, but there is something missing; it doesn’t describe the benefits that switches can bring to people’s independence.
And this is where I need your help. If, as a user, a carer, or just someone you know, you could write and tell me how life has been improved by using switches, I can then share these experiences with others, to let people know the benefits of these varied technologies.
So please write to jan.taylor@iansyst.co.uk with your experiences of using switches.
In the meantime you can read the article Switches for disabled people and see the products we supply Switches, Switch Mounts and Accessories.
