Steve's Way – Never Lose Touch

Steve’s Way is an awareness campaign founded by Tom and Ruth Meadows to educate people about hidden and undocumented accessibility functionality in the Apple iOS that can specifically benefit people with ALS.

iPhone accessibility features include:

• Voice Control - navigating your iPhone using solely your voice
• Mouse Control - navigating your iPhone using a standard Bluetooth mouse
• Head Tracking - using head movement to move the cursor, and facial gestures, sounds or switches to ‘tap.’

Steve’s Way is a reminder that someone with ALS may be able to access their iPhone regardless of how their ALS symptoms unfold. Using iPhone accessibility features may delay or avoid the need for an eye-gaze computer.

The magic of Steve’s Way is the knowledge of what's possible within the accessibility options built into the iPhone or iPad, technology that many already currently own! Please visit Set Up and Training Instructions to learn how your iPhone can work for you.

Due to huge interest, our inventory of Steve’s Way Kits has been exhausted. Over 1800 boxes were provided at no cost by Tom and Ruth Meadows in honor of their friends Steve Walker and Chad McClung. Big thanks to Tom and Ruth for this gift to the ALS community!

Fortunately, the box contained easily sourced items: Bluetooth mouse, mouse pad, Lamicall table top phone holder, Lamicall clamp on phone holder, and a long phone power cable. Configure your own.
