Sunday's Extreme Makeover Home Edition Includes Freedom Scientific Products
(St. Petersburg, Florida, April 26, 2005) - Be sure to tune in for a special
two-hour broadcast of Extreme Makeover Home Edition this Sunday, May 1, from
7 PM to 9 PM EDT, featuring an accessible home for a blind Florida resident.
The highly-rated ABC TV series focuses on the construction of the house for
Jamie Dolan, a St. Petersburg resident who was blinded in a November 24
shooting.
Several companies, including Freedom Scientific, contributed products, time,
and labor to the community-wide effort. Freedom Scientific contributed
JAWS®,
the SARA(tm) Scanning and Reading Appliance, a PAC Mate(tm) QX440, the
StreetTalk(tm) accessible GPS, and the FSReader DAISY player for both PAC
Mate and
Desktop.
Because of public interest and the broad content of this show, ABC has
extended the usual one-hour broadcast to two hours. The national broadcast
will be
preceded at 6 PM EDT by a one-hour pre-show, aired only in the Tampa Bay
area by the local ABC affiliate. The pre-show will spotlight the local
volunteers
and companies that contributed to the home.
After the May 1 air date, clips from the series and product information can
be viewed on the
Extreme Makeover Home Edition Web site.
Freedom Scientific's participation is highlighted in an article on the
ABC Action News Tampa Bay Web site.
On Monday, May 2 at 8 PM EDT, the Dolan home again will be featured on the
one-hour ABC series, How'd They Do That? The broadcast will go behind the
scenes
to show more about building the home's accessible features.
