Six programmes on how micro-technology can help disabled people to live more independent lives.
1: Christopher's Magic Cupboard
Christopher is 4 years old.
He's bright, mischievous and full of life but he's severely physically handicapped. Now, micro-technology is beginning to change his life. With the 'chip' blind people can read, deaf people can use the telephone and people who couldn't speak or write can contact the outside world. Britain leads the world in the invention of micro-technology aids for disabled people. But can the miracle chip reach all who need it?
