How My Computer Has Helped Me Overcome Hearing Loss to a Great Extent
Being a fanatic Mac user, I have no great love for Micro$oft though I admit to using an IntelliPoint Mouse and MS Office (its mice are the best!).
And I also have to admit Microsoft has a wonderful disability employment policy. Take, for example, Ted Hart, its development lead for the Natural Language Group. He is "completely deaf", has a cohclear implant, uses sign language and even has his own interpreter.
Man, oh man! I am dying of envy.
Hart gives a concise description of how technology at his workplace (Text Telephone, anyone?) has helped him - as the lengthy title of his article says - and also gives some tips for communication with co-workers.
