Man creates custom communication and entertainment software for his severely disabled brother

This video was recommended to me and I found it quite sweet. Ben is a non-verbal quadriplegic who requires 24 hours care. His brother and caretaker created a custom software for him that can be controlled with two buttons. It has quite a lot of features by now, there is a keyboard with text-to-speech, movies and even some simple video games.

  • Thanks for sharing this. Sent it to my mother who has spent a large part of her career working with children who require special care like this, she really enjoyed it. Her take:

    "Thanks for this. It is what I have done for 12 years. I wonder why they didn't use the devices that are already out there that do these things and can be customized. It is very cool tho" <- (my mommy)
