[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

I have a nine year old child that is a complete quadraplegic
from a motor vechicle accident.  (She has no movement below the
neck.)

She is very normal (and smart) in every other way, and wants to
be as active as possible in normal daily living.

I'm planning a new house with her in mind.  I've read a little
about "Smart House Tech." but understand that it's really not
here, yet.  I want this house be able to be retro-fitted with
this future tech. as it becomes available.

I understand that there are demos of "Smart Houses" in
existance.  Does anyone know where I could see one (in the
midwest)?  Can you suggest other information that I should
consider for construction?

THANKS!!!  .....Ed Dobie
