Mike McGinn may have lost his ability to speak because of ALS, but he hasn't lost his voice. On Monday, August 15, 2011, Mike used the assistive technology of his iPad to write and give a speech at The ALS Association Golf Outing hosted by Greg Gross about the work of The ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter.

@sbcleaver Terrific. If you ever have video of your students using it, please share! We love to show how work to improve the lives of people with ALS goes beyond Lou Gehrig's Disease.

this is fantastic! Mike, if you read this comment, can you tell me what app or software program you use with your ipad? I work with high school life skills students who could really benefit from this technology! thanks!
