Jarrod adapted her Permobil C400 VS Jr. to be her voice as well as her mobility. A Permobil Joystick Module with Bluetooth allows Delaina to text on her phone, blog on her laptop and complete homework assignments on her tablet. Jarrod programmed it to react to her unique movements for actions such as right and left clicks.
