5.0 out of 5 stars This is the ONE, January 19, 2006
By Todd Plummer "Cosmic Todd" (Marin County, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are a person with disabilities or have some functional limitation, there are so many tools and resources available to help you achieve your potential. But where to start? Start with this book by the Alliance for Technology Access! From establishing a vision of how your life to be, to giving you step-by-step instructions for creating a plan, to educating you about technology tools that are available, to describing your legal rights, this book has it all. I know of dozens of people for whom this book has opened doors they barely had dreamed of.
