MEET MICHAEL PHILLIPS!

Michael Phillips was a lifelong advocate for people with disabilities who broke barriers at school and in adaptive research. 

Michael spoke through an adaptive computer in a text-like fashion. Michael never stopped communicating. And he never stopped caring. Michael was born with a severe form of spinal muscular atrophy that limited his mobility from an early age. He worked with manufacturers of adaptive equipment, testing their effectiveness and demonstrating their use in professional settings. To communicate, he used the muscles in his forehead to send signals to a computer. 

He used those methods to blog and write essays.
