When I first moved to Ohio, a rehabilitation counselor sent me to a rehab
center in Columbus for evaluation. One of the tests I was given involved
interpreting a flow chart with the Optacon. I didn't know what a flow chart
was, and of course, I'd never seen one before, but apparently I did pretty
well on the test as a result of being an Optacon user.
