F Investigates the Maestro

His view.  I notice from
this photo the glare.
Glare really hurts his eyes.
Adjustment immediately made.

F up in his chair
ready tostart learning the new
 format of the Maestro. 

Just to give you an idea of what it looks like for F when he is in his wheelchair using his Meastro.  He has been using a laptop with VS communicator.  He was stuck in his room with it.  He couldn't go out into the real world and use it. Finally, all the years of waiting he has a device. I set it up for him in his room.  I told him he should try to turn the TV's off.  I had programed the remotes into the Maestro back in November when we had the trial device (we just saved the file and transferred it to the new one).  He didn't do it yesterday, he just investigated each button.  He also has to practice timing.  He uses a right switch to scan the boxes or columns and then the left for select.  He has an audio prompt in a specific voice with a shortened "label" in a different volume.  That way he knows that's his prompt.  When he selects the voice is in a different tone, it's louder, and the message prints at the top in the area under the toolbar.  So far in a nutshell that his progress. 

This isn't his main screen.  It's a page he went to.
It's just to give you an idea of how it's set up for him.

Part of his technology set up.
I had hoped he'd be able to
turn one of these off
with his device yesterday.
I will need to confirm
remote settings.
