Steve Gleason: No White Flags

Microsoft accessibility features help Steve Gleason who has ALS


Steve Gleason signed with the New Orleans Saints of the NFL and played 8 seasons.

After he retired, he revealed in 2011 he has Lou Gehrig’s Disease, or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The video is a Microsoft ad but it soft pedals the pitch to show how technology can help people living without disabilities.

As a person living with disabilities I know that without gear my life would be a lot worse, if not hopeless. Assistive devices are a part of our lives.
