I'm sure that everybody on the list knows this, both Kathy Jo and I use
Pathfinder communication devices to communicate with because we have
difficulties with our natural speech. Our Pathfinders don't only assist us
in communication, they can also interface with computers, assisting us with
both general typing, mouse operations and other functions, which makes us
perfect candidates for various computer jobs, and according to my knowledge
Kathy Jo has done data entry and received positive reports. I don't know
her current activities, but through her Pathfinder and other assistive
technology devices, she really has unlimited possibilities.
I think the majority of you know this also, but I work for the Prentke
Romich Company where we build the Pathfinder, and I'm in technical support,
and I also test the majority of new products, and I must say without my
communication device, my job wouldn't be possible for me to do. Most
importantly, I do enjoy my job :)
Thanks,
Anthony

Exactly what I wrote to Kathy Jo...
Shaking my head..... KJ, the reason I asked was so YOU could get into it if
you wanted to. It doesn't matter what I want. What you want is important to
you. I feel like I am talking to a wall sometimes. And I agree with Kat,
the longer you wait, the harder it will be to break through to
independence. Look up on the web the name cary hammis and micro-enterprise.
Perhaps they have somebody in Wisconsin who can help you find your "friday
night passion" for me it is painting and advocacy. for others it's other
things. And if you don't know all the words, look on the web for english
dictionaries.
