How One Man Helps Keep Game Controllers Accessible 130
capedgirardeau writes with a clipping from the AP about engineer Ken Yankelevitz: "[W]ith the retired Bozeman engineer's 70th birthday approaching, disabled gamers say they fear there will be no one to replace Yankelevitz, who has sustained quadriplegic game controllers for 30 years almost entirely by himself. The retired aerospace engineer hand makes the controllers with custom parts in his Montana workshop, offering them at a price just enough to cover parts." Yankelevitz builds interfaces to control an Xbox 360 or PlayStation.

TFA: "Quadriplegic gamers now have around a dozen different actions they can work with their mouth."
Damn, I need a quadriplegic gamer consultant to provide training for my wife.

No problem. I will be happy to drop by and consult with your wife as to how she should best use her mouth.
For a reasonable weekly fee, I'm sure it will only take maybe six months to a year for her to master the techniques I have to teach her.

That's strange, the guys from the Union Park basketball court and I think she's great. She does complain quite a bit about your performance, though.
