Prototype - Touch Screen Mouth Stick for iPad by iFaraday

I want to tell you about an awesome item iFaraday custom made for my mini iPad! It's a touch screen mouth stick with an U shaped mouth piece. 

I can find no other iPad mouth stick out there with an U shaped mouth piece. It is exclusive to iFaraday!

I'm so glad iFaraday was able to work with me to create this product. They not only designed the U mouth piece but made the stick the length I needed! They also were able to angle the end of the stick so that it's similar to the mouth stick I use on my iMac.

The best part about this new product is that it's affordable! I see a lot of these assistive technology iPad mouth sticks go for $50. This mouth stick was around $20! Half the price!

Please help me spread the word about this new piece of assistive technology for people with disabilities, share this blog. Thanks!

People with Disabilities and the Republican Party – Election 2012

If you were only looking at the presidential debates in terms of people with disabilities, here's how it added up:

Obama mentioned either people with disabilities, or disability issues around four times. Each time he did so, it was in a positive light.

Romney only mentioned 'the disabled' once. (He couldn't even use People First Language as Obama did.) What added to the offensiveness was when he said something like, “The disabled will always be taken care of.”

Fuck that! I don't want to be taken care of, I want a job!

The party who preaches that the government and tax payers shouldn't help people can can help themselves, are such hypocrites and/or out of touch with people with disabilities!

I can help myself, I can be employed. In fact, I am employed with Moms in Motion. A Medicaid Waiver Facilitator.

I wouldn't be a so-called drain on society if more focus was given to education and employment for all. But inclusion of students with disabilities in school doesn't seem very important to this country. It's all about seclusion so we can provided services to 'help' them. Services that the Republicans distain and want to cut. If there was more inclusion, many of these services wouldn't be needed!

It's extremely offensive to me, a person with a disability when I hear I “need to be taken care of” and then to hear that I'm a “freeloader” that is dependent on the tax payers that work hard for their paycheck!

I'll give you a need....

The Republicans need to get with it on so many issues. They are so out of touch with so many Americans.


P.S. People with disabilities are the largest minority group in the US.
