Laurie, there are voice rec programs for handicapped kids, wondering if some of them might work for you. You've tried Dragon Dictate, right? Do you have an iPad? It has a lot of accessibility features. I type one-fingered on the iPad, which proves faster for me than using all my fingers on my regular computers. A very soft touch can be used. You can also use a stylus, maybe even with a wrist support. Have you talked to an occupational therapist? An OT affiliated with the schools might be a help for a consultation, as they may be more savvy about stuff available than ones at the clinic.
Best to you and your sister!

Thanks GG and thank you Dawg!
My best friend is a special needs coordinator for the school district. She also has a son with tourretes and I know he has some special programs on his tablet as he can't take notes when he is ticcing badly. I will ask her if she knows of anything or who to talk to.
Yes, I have tried several Dragon products. I really appreciate all your help.

I wish snip would open her ecard from me...
Snip is fine, she's just unable to connect at this time. She'll be back soon.
Laurie, It's good to see you back on the forums...I hope you find some software you can use. And lots of good wishes and prayers for your sister.

Thanks for the info PF. Nice to know I can let up on my worrying...about Snip. Now about the REST of you with medical/home/family/personal issues. Let's just say my prayer list is long.

Well friends, I popped in to ask a quick question, but when I saw everyone in the threads I have decided I will make a real effort to post regularly. I miss you guys!
Nice to see you're feeling better. Hope things continue to improve for you and yours.

I just say, "My DC Family"...let's me get to sleep when I'm supposed to and I don't miss anyone.
So she's having computer problems?
Or is she in some bad weather over there and lost power, internet or something?
Computer problems, she was able to get an e-mail on her phone.

Sorry, but I've been missing having to do with a stroke. I'm well and at home after a few days scare after my neighbor realized I was missing and woke up enough for her to hear me knocking on her wall and getting me to a hospital.
Oh my gosh, glad you are doing ok, and are back. Pretty scary! Take good care!

Oh no Z!!! I knew I was missing you and I got an odd phone call the other night. The only word I understood was your name, but the rest was garbled. Tried to call back and got voice mail. I'm glad you are okay! {{{{{Zhizara}}}}}
