Ed,
Ed,
  Alot of option's are available aloong the lines of building (Smart Homes)
and alot is available in terms of new Construction,What you need is alot
of money which,i think would be comming from a law suit?If that is the case
a smart home would cost up to $6 million dollars.
   You could contact a program run out of austrailia called Beyond 2000
which is produced by the Australlian Broadcasting Corperation,they have
done alot of show's and dedicated it towards adaptive technology.Also i
am available free of charge.I happen to be a student in NEW YORK city's
technical carier institue.I am learning disabled with Dysgraphia and dys
lexia,however in my educational process have learned the technology and
computer's offer an equalizing factor when it comes to disabilities.
    What also would help is the employment of an Occupational therapist
who can help work with the designers to put together a smart home for you.
Any work done,i am sure would be highlighted on several technology programs
such as the one mentioned (BEYOND 2000) which is showed over CATV's (TDC)
better known as The Discovery Channel.

     Hope This helps..
     Philip Kirschner
