Hi guys I haven’t talked to you all in a while, a very long time.
Mrs. Robert Florio remember me?  I’ve been thinking with my mouth, a lot., and I just finished illustrating a children’s book.
I hope to share with you all and if it out by Christmas it would be a great gift.  It’s still a great gift.
I will share the link shortly in the next week or so I hope.
I finally got my trike out after 13 years and it was stitched up on April 13…  Crazy number 13.  LOL
I started doing standup comedy, throwing in the mix everything in my life and hopefully I can get together with you guys for a fundraiser with Michelle so I can come join you and do some comedy it’s a lot of fun.
Gaming market after graduating in 2007 from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh online gaming degree, all of them in Maryland said, no jobs.
Hopefully this children’s book takes off and I’ll be doing more.
Wish me luck.  I hope you’re all doing well.
Looked me up on face book.

Spam filter again -- Barrie's response!

Again, given Gamma 4's mission, one button with the one switch guidelines may be the most easy and less confusing language to use. Many do not understand what a "switch" is and we definitely don't want to make things more difficult! :) That doesn't mean we can't use the experience to let others know how to find out about the history and what "one switch" means to the disabled but I think "one button" is the way to start that conversation rather than scare away people with language.

Just my thoughts. :)

Michelle

I personally use one-switch because of the tie up with accessibility switches, of which there are many more types than just a push-button. >From the field of educational accessibility software, one-switch / two-switch accessibility is a standard term that has been used long-before I knew anything about it. That's why I like to use it in reference to one-button games.

I don't think so, I prefer one button since the word is a bit easier to understand than switch

Hi,

is there a difference between "one button" and "one switch" game?

Best regards,
