Hi! I am helping someone set up their Echo device for calling 911. The way I am doing it is adding 911 as a contact and naming it "911" or "Emergency". Then they can say "Alexa, Call 911". Are there better ways of setting that up?
We want to sincerely thank @Imaginedragons @DanReynolds @WayneSermon @DanielPlatzman @benamckee for headlining #kultureball2021 ! Their passion to build a world where EVERYONE can be accepted and included sets the standard for all of us! Thank you #imaginedragons

Let's all keep an eye on @Google Project Starline. 3D mapping web conferencing. Technology like that can enhance virtual consultations and evaluations if made commercial in the near future. #AssistiveTech #AssistiveTechnology

I graduated from Southern CT State University with a Master of Science, specializing in Assistive Technology. I crossed the stage wearing a Cap fitted with a Touch LCD Display. Running on a Raspberry Pi 4. Under was an LED Strip. All powered by a Power Bank, under my gown.
