Mighty Mo from the front
and from the business side - USB ports, etc.

I am using the top row of four "buttons" on all pages (Hello, HELP, Please Wait, Not Here) and then adding another row of four things just for Rand.
For instance, the second row on Rand's says, "Manny", "people", "talk", and the "Go Back" button. Those are the only buttons on his page. When Rand touches "Manny", another screen comes up with four things he might need Manny for - like the bathroom, water, temperature control, and needs. If he presses the needs button, another screen comes up with items he might need: sweater, moving to another chair, the remote, etc. If he pushes the people button, a screen comes up with friends, family and doctor. Push the friends button and your names will come up, same for the family. Today I want to figure out how to put the picture of the person as the graphic on the button with their name. Someday soon, I hope, each person's button will lead to a page devoted to them so Rand can find out about the person's golf game, fishing trip, poker game, whatever. In other words, every single page has to be created, programed, graphics and sound added just for Rand. Big job. The SGD will be mounted on a swing away contraption on his wheelchair so it is always in front of him, he can't forget about it, ignore it, it will always be right there. It can be snapped off the mounting and used on a table top whenever that is needed.
All of the pre-made pages have 16 buttons on them and that's too many for Rand. Four should do the trick for now. I can always update it and increase it as his needs change. Right now, the goal is to have it simple, easy to use, not confusing and to make him successful right off the bat!
Hope this helps you understand what I'm up to and what is going to hit Rand tomorrow! WHEEEEEE! Keep those body parts crossed that this works and keep Rand close.
Love,
Connie
