Playstation Introduction
With a switch interfaced Playstation, people of absolutely all abilities
can control Music CDs, create music/vibrations and of course, play games. The
Playstation 2 gives control over DVDs, as well as 95% compatibility with the original
Playstation.
These instructions should help you get to grips with this technology. Hopefully
you will gain ideas on how to offer more control and fun opportunities to people
with severe disabilities. Give yourself time to learn, and don't be afraid to
experiment. You won't break anything by pressing buttons!
