Assistive Technology – Anne Carlsen Center

“Assistive Technology Gives Our World Opportunities”

Empowerment is going from dependence to independence. This is highly prevalent in the work and dedication of Sady Paulson and Mark Coppin. They met at the Carlsen Center in Jamestown, N.D. Mark states that, “She was only limited by what the technology could do for her”.  

By using a switch located on either side of her headboard, Sady can communicate and participate in the world around her. Limited by only the span of technology offered to her, she can take any program and push it to it’s limit.

She takes pictures and uses software to edit them. The technology offered to her and others like her have created a whole new world to people limited by their bodies.
