Daniel Erkstam’s Summary

Accessability and adaptive technology have been a great interest of mine the last 10-15 years. I used to work with people with special needs for 8 years (special school, housing, employment) always with my private interest in computing and ICT beside. Then I started to study some OOP programming at University of Uppsala to gain some useful skills to be able to work full time with my interest in how modern technology can help and compensate disabilities. Before I finnished my studies I started at Gewa in 2001. And since 2004 I have been working full time with ReadSpeaker sales in Sweden. Since 2007 I have been responsible for ReadSpeaker sales in the Nordic Countries.
