Milton Anthony started, owned and operated his own business for over five years. This business dealt with computers and assistive technology, which are special devices and programs that allow persons with disabilities complete access to a computer.

Milton is a former sensory aid specialist. This means he evaluated a client's disabling condition and "configured," or put together computer systems with the various components, allowing the greatest access according to what the clients needs were. He uses this technology, voice recognition and screen reading softwares, in his everyday use of his own computer.

The voice recognition software allows him to talk into his computer, rather than having to type. The screen reading software verbalizes everything on the screen to him. Configured with a scanning program, this allows him to "read" printed material.

He can evaluate and recommend components or complete systems that will help you be more independent, productive and benefit you in your own everyday living.
