What other resources are available for disabled individuals who may not have accessto BCI technology at this time?
Many severely disabled people who have difficulty with communication and control can benefit from standard, widely available assistive communication technology. Rehabilitation engineers, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation therapists are professionals who can provide access to these technologies and assistance in their use. Physiatrists, departments of physical medicine and rehabilitation in local hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, and local and national organizations such as the ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and MD (muscular dystrophy) associations can provide information about how to access these resources.
