Hi

My girlfields 6 year old brother has recently become quadraplegic due to a C1 complete and i have been trying to find a place that i can buy special toys for Xmas on the net e.g. voice activated remote controlled car. Anyone know of a good place to look

Depending on his remaining function, if he is able to move his head, then this head controlled remote may be of interest.

The only voice activated remore control car I could find was this one: http://www.microrcca...voice/index.htm

Simon.

I know its too late for Christmas, but Look for Interface (an organisation which supports people for little/no speech), I dont know the UK/USA branches though, but they often have hands-free devices or a technician that can assist with adapting toys.
Also look for anything with regards to computer programmes with voice activation software, or that use infrared head pointers.
