... Louis, Childrens Hospital for a number of assessments. We had to fly to get there and took several flights. My son is a wheelchair user, although he is...
don't know about the wheelchair, but do know you CAN take a communication device on the airplane; however, and this is a biggie--for those DynaMyte users,...
Hi When we fly, we take every off the wheelchair that can come off, we take off the armrest, footrest, seat cushion, back cushion, the controller, mount for my...
I agree with the advice given. I had to laugh at the Dynamite concern though. That could be a problem! We have flown a lot in my son's lifetime. Almost all...
We have traveled quite a bit with Natasha. 4 times this last summer. I only take her manual chair - its already old and battered. But I like the idea of the...
We've traveled on at least one trip per year for the past 17 years with my daughter and her wheelchair. We have not been brave enough yet to travel with her...
The airlines are supposed to have wheelchairs that fit in the aisles so they can move passengers. Not ideal, but you hit the problem: the aisle of an airline...
That's a neat idea. I wonder why that isn't possible, the way they have fold-up seats on buses? Is it still a space issue? I know that when I took my...
Hi Cynthia- You had some good questions that have been answered, but I wanted to add a few of my own. Sophie is now 12, but in the beginning we would haul her...

They can't count anything that is a medical supply or needed for accomidation by someone with a disability. Here's some resource information: A phone number...
Sue, Thanks for your infomation, especially regarding aircraft with 60 seats or more. I have been very satisfied with one airline I typically fly. I would...
I am looking for ideas for adapting worksheets. My son cannot write, but uses a computer/dynavox to type. He does not yet have a way to use a mouse. I want...
Here is a very simple, low tech solution for worksheets, if I can remember it quickly. Presuming he can do all the functions that he needs on the dynavox. 1....
The dynavox has mouse movements that are programmable. I messed around with it last year and it does work but I would have to dust off my paperwork and you...
Chris's high school has recently switched to the "forms" option in "Word for Mac". They re-type the worksheet and make it mostly multiple choice. (I don't...
It is quick and easy. I use it all the time in my classroom when I need to make a worksheet for my students. Most of my students type better than they write,...
Stephanie, I went to Office Max and bought my son a P-Touch label maker. Using clear film, the smaller size he types in the answer, prints it out and peels...
Awesome idea; I can't believe I never thought of that. I use the little sticky notes a lot (I usually give my students a "word bank" anyway, so I just...
Magi, I like the sticky note idea. If my Josh could peel off a lable and use the small keyboard on the lable maker...I wouldn't need to adapt the worksheets....
Another teacher had a way to curl them up to make them easier to pull of, but I can't remember how she did it. She called them "bulked up sticky notes"...
It looks like Tory's DynaMyte is on the fritz (screen showing strange colors and flickering). As this device is now 7 years old and the extended warranty...
Try touching the left side of the machine to stop the flickering. I had the same problem on my 3100 and it helped a lot. ... -- Tom Visit my web site at <a...
Thanks for all the great suggestions! I love the label idea, but my son cannot type (uses switches). Anyway, our AT dept. has concluded he could just type...
Hi Betsy- After months of debate and making listsand taking notes from multiple trial uses, Josh opted for the Vantage Plus with Word Power 84. It was so equal...
