Hello - my friend is severely disabled - she can only move her head. She speaks well and can use her facial muscles but everthing else is paralysed, inc. her hands. Does anyone know of a computer that she would be able to use - if indeed they have them for people with no hands. For other things, like changing tv chanels etc. she has a 'thing' round her neck which she can operate with her chin - any advice at all would be really welcome - thank you

does she have an occupational therapist. If she does, they can probably refer her to the local reenablement centre. What illness does she have? maybe a specific disability droup could help ie if she has mnd, she could ask the mnda for help
