Designer & owner Arthur Heyer:
painting with his Mouthstick and Motorized Easel

  Welcome to the Extensions for Independence’s web pages.  In them you will find things that have helped me live a meaningful and productive life in spite of my disability.  These things are low-technology aids, tips of knowledge, and my philosophy of life.  It is all there for you to take or use what you need.  My life would not have meaning if I did not know that someone, somewhere is learning from it, or using the benefit of a product of my creation.
