You know, the bright pink Minnie Mouse ones, for example. That might be over the top, color-wise, but (I haven't looked at them) it might be perfect for a senior saint.<BR/><BR/>Also, with regard to the particular needs of each senior, some may be losing (or lost) their eyesight, so a CD player would be better for them while a DVD might be better for the group who can see. Again with VERY simplistic buttons -- and maybe even coded with a super bright color(s) tape to delineate each button, or to somehow create a raised, braille-like symbol so they can identify the play, pause, stop, forward/reverse buttons.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure how all these things would pan out in reality, but at least they are a few ideas to get more thoughts going. :)Natalie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04950347004903207760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506400422839572648.post-45538302723921375982009-04-03T06:03:00.000-07:002009-04-03T06:03:00.000-07:00Stephen, excellent thoughts.
