RE: [QUAD-L] tongue control versus sip and puff?
27 ½ half years ago I had tongue touch keypad system that had a retainer type in the roof of my mouth and I activated the buttons with my tongue. Could run the computer, and they did a prototype wheelchair I tried out. Funding fell off and it never went anywhere permanent. I still have my insert, little piece of history Joan, waiting for snow to night! Where is spring?

I wish the inventor and the one user would have just referred to it as an alternative. As a longtime sip and puff chair user, I can make my chair dance. To call sip and puff "very slow" and "like Morse code" is kind of ridiculous. I would challenge my ability of sip and puff against any other type of use for driving a wheelchair, which is what you do with a wheelchair. The fact that this technology allows for other uses, like computer, cell phone etc. is pretty amazing. But that can be used whether or not someone is using sip and puff with the wheelchair. It's great technology. I hope they keep finding different ways to make life better for us, but I don't see any reason to put down sip and puff technology in order to propagate this technology. Thanks for the article!

" driving a wheelchair through a course, moving a cursor on a computer screen, operating a cellphone and more." Yup, can do all that with sip and puff.
