Brian,
Thanks awfully for your response. Yes, it would be very useful to have GHG's
contact details, there web site appears to be under further development at
present and details such as that were difficult to find.
I am interested for a number of reasons relating to useability for a member
of staff with a multiple learning difficulty coupled with a upper limb
muscular skeletal disorder - and a reluctance [bone idleness] to embrace the
functionality of such technology to assist and empower themselves.
It would appear that for the sake of £600 plus a couple of days half day
training they would rather insist on permanent 'support worker' proffision
funded by access to work at a cost of over £19.50 per hour.
Personally I believe this to be an abuse of the scheme and an action that
could well deprive communication support and reading support for those that
have a more genuine need.
If you would forward that contact number, I would be very grateful.
Best wishes

Hi Colin
I know a reasonable amount about Talking Point. I have seen it working,
and I know something about how internally and technically it works. It
really depends upon what your question is as to whether I can help.
Because I am heavily involved with creating a competitive product, I may
not be the best person to ask. What you could do is to contact the
manufacturers, GHG, I have their telephone number if you do not.
Please get back to me if I can help further.
