I have a disability called Spinal muscular atrophy, which basically means all my muscles are extremely weak. I use an electric wheelchair to get about.
I think my disability has had a bit of a knock on effect with my mental health, as I've suffered from depression for almost half my life.

I think it's great the forum has sections for disabilities!

I am a high-level quadriplegic living in Colorado. When I was 14 years old I suffered an accidental gunshot wound when a kid was playing with a gun.

I am currently using DragonDictate to type and it is an excellent product. It is especially useful for people with physical disabilities who don't have use of their hands. It used to take me literally minutes to write a couple of sentences and now in that same time I can write paragraphs. It is almost liberating.

Even if you do not have a physical disability you can control your computer with this product. If you have a chance you should try it out.

Thank you

James

Polio here. Effects both my legs, my left arm, and one lazy lazy eye.... can't seem to get that bad boy to see what the right eye is seeing.

I'm 41 and I gather that is rare for Polio. Caught it at 6 months old while my father was stationed in Vietnam.

I am blind, although I do not consider it to be a disability, just an inconvience in life.
