    Abstract: A mobile carrier for an augmentative communication device or laptop computer contains a supporting tray enabling a user to slidably adjust the height of the tray for optimum usage. The mobile carrier is easily pushed or pulled to accommodate a user's needs by the use of four wheels, the front two of which are smaller and pivot, and the rear two of which are larger for ease in movement over obstacles. The handle of the mobile carrier is adjustable, and preferably T-shaped, to enable a person to rest on the same when needed, or to pull or push the carrier from either side, when needed. After removal of a pin, the carrier is easily folded into a compressed position, and various elements thereof may be easily removed for ease in storage or transportation thereof.
