Huge Win!

I am very pleased to announce that the Oregon Telecommunication Devices Access Program (TDAP) has decided to include speech generating devices in its no charge loan program for people with disabilites. Until now the program was mostly focused on the needs of the Deaf, people who are hard of hearing, and people with upper extremity mobility

Congratulations!!! What a great thing for those who really need it. Just from what I've learned reading your journal, I can imagine how much of a difference those devices would make in a person's life. Yet another thing in this world is better because of you!

Thanks! Feels like I have accomplished something that will help a few people, and short of curing AIDS or Cancer, it doesn't get much better than that!

Thank you. The benefit is way out of proportion to the effort though. (I guess that is not clear -- What i mean is that the benefit is large compared to the effort.)
