Engineering students help a disabled woman begin her own business
A group of University of Rhode Island engineering students designed customized assistive devices to help a disabled woman start her own greeting card company. Rebecca Beaton, a Warwick resident who can only control the movement of her head and neck due to cerebral palsy, was fitted with devices that will enable her to operate a computer, paint, draw and use and iPad and smartphone.
