Growing Technology<br />
Submitted by: Kasey Hodges, Student<br />
Living with Cerebral Palsy<br />
isn’t simple. But with technology,<br />
one can do anything they<br />
set their mind to.<br />
Technology has made a<br />
tremendous<br />
impact on<br />
my life. It<br />
h a s<br />
enabled me<br />
to do several<br />
activities<br />
such as<br />
talking<br />
online with<br />
friends and<br />
family,<br />
giving speeches, etc. I<br />
currently have a communication<br />
device made by the<br />
Prentke Romich Company<br />
called the Pathfinder. This is<br />
basically my voice.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Pathfinder<br />
allows me to<br />
do<br />
things<br />
the<br />
listed<br />
above plus assists in completing<br />
my school work. This<br />
device interfaces with a<br />
typical computer so I can<br />
complete my assignments<br />
efficiently and in a timely<br />
fashion.<br />
Technology also has given<br />
me multiple advantages<br />
over the average person.<br />
I’ve been afforded the<br />
fantastic opportunity<br />
of gaining knowledge<br />
about the<br />
use of technology<br />
during every day<br />
experiences.<br />
Some people consider technology<br />
as just wires and<br />
gadgets, but to me, it’s a<br />
connection to the world<br />
around me.<br />
