Hello,

I’m writing to tell you about a new monthly series in Virtuality called Tim’s Tips. Tim’s Tips will be informational articles providing the specifics about a wide array of topics that we deal with or wish to know more about. I do not get online as much as I would like to but when I do, it is to do research on products or ideas to help the disabled. I end up with more links than I could imagine and often times the links have taken a turn into something completely different. Just recently, I was looking for information on Yellowstone National Park. I ended up with all sorts of information on Travel Services for the disabled and traveling tips which some how brought  me to  assistance dogs for those with Parkinson’s!?!

Here are a few topics of what you will be reading – Handicapped Travel, Parenting, Mobility Aids, Computer Aids, Home Design, Hobbies, various Disability Acts, and more. The idea to assemble all this information I collect came to me when a woman sent me a whole bunch of caregiver tips for my web site. Each month I will comment, review, and provide links to sites relevant to that month’s topic. I will also announce next month’s topic so that people can send in suggestions, items, or articles to review.

Next month I will be writing Computer Tools for the Disabled. Voice dictation, email readers, and visual aids are example of a few. If you have a favorite program let me know. Most of the programs I have come up with are free and I will provide links! Please email with your suggestions for articles or information you may have on the next month’s articles.
