You will be able to read about Jorge\u2019s experiences at Computer Wise in the \u201cJobs\u2019 section of his book.  I hope you enjoy Jorge\u2019s story. He shares his many interesting ideas, experiences, and dreams. He tells about his girlfriend Chantal Bedard whom many of us knew in our Ontario Bliss community. You can learn about how Jorge uses his left foot to control five switches that work his electric wheelchair and his Liberator computer. If you wish to send your greetings to Jorge or ask a question, leave a comment and Jorge will see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the link to Jorge&#8217;s book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stories.sojustrepairit.org\/storyView.html?id=eba1c640-f863-11ea-9fdd-552aa35bda8b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/stories.sojustrepairit.org\/storyView.html?id=eba1c640-f863-11ea-9fdd-552aa35bda8b<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On December 6, 2020, Jorge Almeida will be 50 years of age!&nbsp; I am very happy to celebrate his birthday by giving you the link to his life story, published by the Inclusive Design Institute,&nbsp; OCAD (Ontario College of Art and Design) University!
