Seeing the Big Picture thanks to Busey Bank

Thanks to the donation of a gently used computer monitor to PARC by Busey Bank, Chelsey can "see the big picture."

Chelsey and other participants in PATS (PARC Assistive Technology Services) program who are not able to use their hands to operate a computer keyboard use an adaptive switch that they press with their heads to produce an on-screen keyboard. They then press the switch again to select letters as the computer displays them on-screen. Chesley does data enty work in ABRA and was having trouble seeing the small letters of the on-screen keyboard. With the extra big 20" monitor in place, she can truly see the big picture.

Thank you to Busey Bank for Partnering with PARC to enable Chelsey and others in the PATS program to participate in a quality life!
