Michael Clark
South Island & Disability

Michael has been involved in teaching and education for over 40 years and has seen again and again the need for assistive technology.
His interest in assistive and adaptive technology led to Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Seeing young people using assistive technology to remove barriers and becoming industry leaders reinforced Michael’s belief that the provision of effective technology and appropriate training could empower people with disabilities (whanau hauā).

Having worked with Dragon since 2000 he provides installation, training and call out support to the greater Canterbury region.
