valerie

My name is Valerie and I am 28 years old. Since birth I have had a physical disability: Cerebral Palsy. This is then referred to as spasticity. For me it manifests itself in tension and vibrations inside and sometimes a movement that I cannot control, in other words a spasm.

I use remote controls a lot for different applications. For example, a remote control that allows me to turn a lamp on and off without having to go to the lamp. In the bedroom I have a curtain that I can operate electrically with a remote control. This allows me to open and close this curtain independently. 

I also have an electrically operated front door and back door. I can open the door by pressing a remote control. This way I can go in and out of my house independently.
