Hmmm, anyone know of a decent website or mobile phone that is suitable for a disabled child of 10? He is in an electric wheelchair, so also if you know of any device that can be hooked up to use a normal mobile phone. cheers...
You'll have to be be more specific as to his disability. Someone in a wheelchair can use normal mobile phone just like anyone else. If he has problems using his fingers, then there are mobile phones with large buttons, you can have voice dialing, hands-free... there are lots of possibilities but it's impossible to advise if you don't tell us what his disability is.
Has he asked for one? Maybe you could get him one of the big old ones, with easy to read buttons and speed dials? However, I have to ask....will he not have a carer with him at all times?
Well his mum/dad is with him all the time. He is very clever, but limited what he can do.
I cant seem to find one anywhere.
I am looking to pay up to about �300 if thats any help.
Maybe you could contact a registered charity that specialises in his disability, they might have some ideas. They could even direct you to a specialised shop?
It's very hard to advise on an appropriate model without knowing his exact abilities.
He can talk and stuff and is very clever. The only limitations i see wrong with him is he cant walk and probably wont be able to use a slide phone.
cheers anyway max
Cheers annie, but i was after a normal phone where he can ring people.
Problem is his parents dont live together now and i was after a mobile phone or mobile attachment device so he can ring his dad and vice versa.
Thought there might be someone on here who might have something similar.
