DAVE HARD AT WORK on his old beatup equipment

Dave is working hard but BoBo is taking it easy.












Bobo is a stray cat that David found a few years ago and Dave has given this abandoned animal a loving home. BoBo is very playful and affectionate. Just don't cross him because he thinks he's the king of the beasts. Rawrrr!













As you can see Dave's equipment is old and very beat up. We are trying to get a new computer system and a properly adapted joystick.
You wouldn't believe the run around we get from services for adapted devices. No equipment can be acquired without an assessment, but no one in London can do this. A hospital in Kitchener was suggested but we were told that they may not take people from outside their community. ADP ( Ontrio government's assited devices provider) says they only tell people where services may be found, they do not provide or mandate services. David may be in a classic catch 22 along with others in his postion in London. Perhaps the MPP's will need to become sensitized to this injustice before the next election.
Or maybe we will just sic BoBo on them.
What do you think?
If you agree that ADP needs to make sure vulnerable people have access to the services they need, please call your Member of Provincial Parliament or risk the wrath of BoBo.
