I have an uncle with cerebral palsy. When he was young, the doctors told him he wouldn't live to 40. He celebrated his 80th birthday a few years ago. His mind is still sharp, and he loves music.
Today I was talking to my aunt and uncle about how much he loves music. They say he has stacks of CDs but the attendants at his nursing home won't put them on for him. He has very limited mobility and his speaking is not clear. One of my cousins was wanting to get him something like an iPad but I don't think that will work for him because his mobility is so erratic. There's no way he could push the home button on an iPad and even if his voice was clear enough to use voice control you still have to be able to push the button. Just to give you an idea of his limitations... he can't operate the remote control for the TV anymore. He may be able to use something with voice control if the commands were simple and it didn't require a precise gesture to activate. I thought I would ask you people if you had any ideas about a music system that might work for him. I'd be thrilled to rip his CD collection and set something up for him but I don't know what would work and be simple enough for him to control. I also don't think a networked system would work because he's in a nursing home. Any ideas or leads? (Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk.
