Welcome to Minomech!

We're delighted that you stopped by, please take a moment to find out more about us and the exciting new things we bring to the world of Assistive Technology:

Our aim is to provide both the products and the knowledge that will help people with special needs to participate in, and enjoy the modern computing and communication revolution.

So many products today are designed presuming a user's ability to do things like push buttons, connect plugs, read text, or even speak out loud. Such simple assumptions end up cutting many people off from the use of devices and technology that the rest of us take for granted such as telephones, computers and the Internet.

We believe that the most efficient route to overcome these design limitations is through "keeping it simple" by using a combination of existing products and technology, and sometimes adding a simple invention or two. Most of the time just not knowing what is possible is our greatest limitation. At Minomech we are determined to gather and share the educational and technical resources that are often essential but hard to find. We want to do the work to come up with reliable solutions, and to test the product combinations so that you don't have to re-invent the wheel for every new piece of technology you want to use or that you want to provide for a client.

We have an ambitious slate of products and downloadable resources to be introduced here on the web in the coming months. We want this site to be useful to you whether or not you buy our products.

In the Products section we have several items to help extend access and independence to people with special needs, particularly related to wheelchair use, but useful for many others as well.

The Resource section of the site will be an educational resource and a forum for solutions, ours and yours, to high-tech accessibility issues. We believe that by providing such a forum, where people can pool their resource and learn from each other, we all benefit. It is our goal to become your resource for solving the tough problems in providing computer and communication equipment to individuals with special needs.

As we get started our product focus is on mobility--"getting out there" with the power of current computers and communication equipment.

Please keep watching this site for new products, technical tips and other resources. Feel free to send us any suggestions you may have regarding directions to go or problems you would like to see resolved and we will work hard to provide you with a growing and dynamic resource for your assistive technology needs.
