A specially adapted keyboard for Connor
Connor Strain, who lives in Northern Ireland, was just
two days away from completing his electrical
engineering apprenticeship when he was involved in
a serious road accident.
He received severe and extensive injuries that have left him paralysed from the neck down resulting in confinement to a wheelchair, probably for the rest of his life.
He made contact with the EEIBA as he needed a specially adapted keyboard for his computer, which the charity was pleased to provide.
The Welfare Officer for the region who visited Connor came to the conclusion that despite his ordeal, he is a very remarkable young man.
