For trigger, probably same way he does with the 10/22. Again, no control of the hands or fingers but he CAN use his shoulders and elbows to position his hands in a location (trigger guard) and "poke" a finger in it, then using a movement of shoulders/elbows effectively pull back on the finger and activate the trigger. We did discuss a mouth activated device (he uses one for his camera) but the 10/22 seemed to work well enough as it is. Same with driving. He can depress levers with his hands via movement from his shoulders/elbows, which controls gas and brake. Then there's a pronged spinner on the steering wheel he can basically jam his other hand in and use that to turn. He's not utilizing hand movement to do it, but it is attached to his hand and he uses shoulder/elbow movement to do what he needs.</blockquote>
