Profile of Success - David Redding
I
am David Paul Redding. I am 40 years old. I was born with Cerebral Palsy. I
live in Washington, IL. I attend PARC workshop in Peoria. I work on the computer
at PARC Assistive Technology Services and at home. I purchased a new Pathfinder™
Plus with Unity® so I can see the large screen display on the Pathfinder
Plus. I like the Pathfinder Plus!
I used the Delta Talker with Unity from 1998 to 2004 and I used the Touch Talker with Words Strategy from 1992 to 1998. For more information visit: "Conversion from TouchTalker/LightTalker to Pathfinder".
Before I graduated in 1986-87, I shared the Touch Talker with Words Strategy at Developmental Center. I joined Speech and Language Rehabilitation Services, Ltd. Danila is working with me. She does a wonderful job with the communication devices. Danila helps me, my friends, and some other people to learn the communication devices. I talk to my family, friends, some staff, and some other people with communication devices when I'm at home, at work, in a shopping center, etc.
I like the St. Louis Cardinals, the Chicago Bulls, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Chicago Bears. I like to go to the games each year. I like to look around places while I'm on vacations and on weekends and enjoy my independence. I like to look down while I am on the airplane so I can look around the USA.
I write Christmas letters on the computer every year. I like to look at the Internet on the computer and I like to write e-mail messages to my family and friends. I like to play the Solitaire and games on the computer. I would like to play the Solitaire on the Pathfinder with Windows CE.
