PRESS RELEASE
HumanWare Products Star in Extreme Makeover Home Edition
HumanWare is pleased to announce its appearance on the popular TV
show Extreme Makeover Home Edition, which will be broadcast on
February 17 on ABC in the United States.
In this brand-new episode, the Extreme Makeover Home Edition team
comes to the rescue of the Hughes family and their son Patrick who
is blind, whose determination and courage is truly a source of
inspiration. Patrick has overcome many challenges to become a
musician. Therefore, the team will design the Hughes family home
layout based on Patrick's specific needs so that he can enjoy more
autonomy and freedom in his daily life.
To add to Patrick's new accessible environment, the EMHE team called
on HumanWare for its renowned assistive technology products for
people who are blind or visually impaired. Patrick was provided with
products courtesy of HumanWare. These high-quality innovative
products included the Trekker system, the popular "talking" GPS, a
BrailleNote personal assistant and the Victor Reader Stream, a
pocket-size digital talking book player.
"The HumanWare team is happy to help make Patrick and his family's
dream come true," says Gilles Pepin, President of HumanWare. "Our
mission is to empower people who are blind or visually impaired, and
this mission is shared by the EMHE team in this episode."
Tune into this episode on February 17 on ABC in the United States.

About Extreme Makeover Home Edition
Put together one very run-down house, a deserving family, several
opinionated designers, seven days and what do you get? The answer is
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Each episode of Extreme Makeover:
Home Edition is self-contained and features a race against time on a
project that would ordinarily take at least four months to achieve,
involving a team of designers, contractors and several hundred
workers who have just seven days to totally rebuild an entire house
-- every single room, plus the exterior and landscaping.
