James has cerebral palsy. He is physically incapable of using his hands to pick up a pen to write.James uses a headset with a microphone, he speaks into the mic and his words come up on the computer in front of him. He also uses a program called Intellikeys, which he feels does not produce his "original" work, but has made his life easier. Intellikeys uses a flexible, portable keyboard that plugs into a computer and allows the user to easily and effectively manipulate the computer. This assistive technology allows James and others with cerebral palsy to send emails and communicate better with other people. As James says, "When the technology works, it works great, but when it breaks down it creates chaos."
