SmartNav for Drewbie
By Ricky Buchanan • October 27, 2008
Drew is five years old and has spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). He has a fantastic website which his Nana puts together on her Mac - Drewbie’s Website has heaps of photos and movies about his life and triumphs.
Drew uses SmartNav to access his computer, using a switch for mouse clicks and moving his hand - with a reflective ring on it - to move the mouse pointer. He was featured in the last SmartNav newsletter and there’s a video on his website of Drew using SmartNav to play computer games with his brother.
Best of luck with your adventures, Drew!

G'day Karyn,
ReplyDeleteDo you know how to put links in your blog? I know that you're new to this and have ALS, and I didn't see any links anywhere else.
It's just that I'm Ricky Buchanan - I wrote this post. I'm not angry that you used it without permission, I understand your motivation, but it would be nice if you could credit http://atmac.org/ as the place it came from. If it's too tricky, no stress though.
Cheers,
Ricky
