About this Talk
The Neil Squire Society has been revolutionizing the lives of Canadians with disabilities since 1984 through accessible technology.
Our organization was established when 21-year-old Neil Squire was left a brain-stem tetraplegic after a car crash. Seeing he was unable to speak or move his arms and legs, Neil’s family and a group of professionals in Vancouver created a ground-breaking device allowing him to communicate by using his breath to type Morse code. The technology was rudimentary at the time but it reconnected Neil to the world, allowing him to speak with family and friends once again. After Neil passed, the small but mighty group formed the Society in his name to keep improving the lives of people with disabilities.
Join a Fireside Chat with Neil Squire’s New Brunswick AT Help Desk for a live demonstration of Microsoft 365 assistive features and tips and tricks to make better use of the technology you already have. The presentation will be a live demonstration, therefore not all of the content will be available in slide format, however, a list of links will be provided.
