On October 20 and 22, the Glenrose held pseudo-press conferences to share the success of my multi-touch tabletop and it’s activities with the local Edmonton and St. Albert media. To date between 40 and 50 patients have used the tabletop, and many patients and therapists reported that it has produced many great results. I hope that these positive benefits will continue with new patients and that we will be able to make a few more tabletops for the Glenrose. I also hope that we can get many more tabletops into other hospitals and clinics around Alberta as well. If you would like more information on this project, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
