In case you are nosey...

So, are you all wondering why I use my nose to draw?  I will tell you…  I came up with the idea to use my nose on the screen to do things because my arms and hands do not work well, but I still really wanted to draw because it is always enjoyable for me and makes me happy.  So, it is easier that I use my nose to move around the screen, scroll, type, push buttons, and complete work my work.

 My touch screen has cool things I can do for fun with my nose (for example, I am a really good nose bowler!) instead of my hands or a mouse because the screen is only a few inches away from me so I am able to touch the computer while my arms rest on my lap.  It does not hurt my nose accidentally because it is strong and has more muscles than my arms. It is important to remember that I can only see anything on the computer if it is really, really close to me or very, very big!  So, using my nose makes sense because that is about the distance I need to be away from the screen to even be able to see it.  It is very complicated and interesting but I am able to use my computer on my own without a mouse!

Many people who can’t use their arms will use mouthsticks to do things on technology.  But, I tried that and found out that it might fall out of my mouth too often and also it hurts my teeth when I hold or bite it.  I also found out I have better control over my movement for drawing if I use my nose.
