Special Dream-Projects

Since the launch of the Dream-Racer web site and blog we have been approached by lots of people asking for something different than the standard switches and other devices found in the assistive technology catalogues. These are just three of the "special projects" we worked on:

Alan wanted to talk about using Morse Code to communicate with an elderly relative - amazingly she still remembered it despite not using it in over 60 years.

Gillian had a problem with the wires on a standard switch. Every 3-4 months the cable frayed and eventually broke away requiring her to buy costly replacements.

Karl needed four switches to plug into his Joybox that he could control using his available head movement.

Gillian's switch problem was an easy fix as the mechanism worked perfectly: only the cable was broken. Reconnecting the wire saved about £15 over the cost of a new switch.

This got us thinking: there must be many people needing something a little bit different or possibly something repaired. If that's the case, we would like them to get in touch with us to tell us about their problem.

Give us a call or send an e-mail - we may be able to help find a solution.
