Assistive technology is transforming lives of people with disability

Sean Fitzgerald worked hard to rebuild his life after breaking his neck in a mountain bike accident 14 years ago.

For five hours after the crash, before medical help arrived, his then-partner and a passing stranger kept him alive with their breath. He spent two years on a ventilator before breathing again on his own.

Now he helps other people with disabilities rebuild their lives by assessing their technology needs and teaching them how to use a range of devices and equipment, including environmental control units.
