   Looking for Computer Aided Communication for Quadraplegic


  I am looking for information about computer aided communication for the
 following situation.  Any information about a person, organization, or
 corporation who could help would be greatly appreciated.

   I have a friend who recently became a quadraplegic.  This condition was
 caused by an aneurysm on or near the brain stem.  "Paul" has full mental
 capabilities and is very bright, but has absolutely no control over any
 motor skill other than eye movement.
  As you may guess, communication is a very difficult and frustrating for
 him. The only current means of communication is by use of a letter code
 where a person is needed to ask Paul letter groups then letters from the
 group to spell out words. Paul uses his eye movement to signal when the
 correct letter is selected.  Aside from needing human intervention to
 translate, it is a very slow process.

  I apologize for posting this to so many news groups, but I don't really
 know where to ask for help.  Please email all responses since I don't read
 many of the news groups to which I have posted.

  All help would by appreciated,
  Russ Lamoreaux
