Yes Mai, you bring up a key element of all this which is that no one solution to the problem exists. We need a range of alternatives, each better suited for one environment than another.

I just read that one, Axis. The photo with the child wearing it is telling - he's got this grin and this sideways glance that conveys what he is thinking very well!
Actually i feel we are entering a time where anyone with or without a disability will augment some set of components of themselves, giving them super-hero-like powers. like wearing magnets on rings to sense magnetic fields, or those tennis contact lenses that make the ball stand out by color. Shoes with bonus stride and bounce for walking the town (those have been around for some time) or even third hands that basically are a third hand for carrying more groceries or whatever, an assistive hand for the abled...
