I am also quite all right, so I don't need that. Making a point, however, yes, the majority of disabled people are unemployed, or in low-pay work. Look at ProLoQuo for non-verbal autistics. THAT is $175 last I saw for the iPad app. BUT a lot of times the DOR steps in to help with the expense. *I* also pay extra for care I need that is not covered on Medicare/Medicaid. Perhaps that is why I feel for those who do not have that ability. Most of my life I was not hired because of my poor vision. Until I found a company that Thinks Different!

Lots of things would be "nice" if they were free.
My mother paid extra to get an upgraded version of a basic
(Medicare-provided) walker. Makes her life easier (and probably staves off
wheelchairdom for some considerable time).
Lots of vision-impaired people are not unemployed, or poor, and are willing
to pay for upgrades or better accommodations.
If upgrades had to be free, pretty soon there wouldn't be any, or the "base
price" would go up to allow for it, or (e.g. walker) it wouldn't be covered
by insurance.
Of course, if you, or anyone, wants to do the work of providing these
enhancements as a charity gift to the world, you're quite welcome!
