This Sunday morning@6:30AM., on KDKA-TV’s “The Sunday Business Page”, with KDKA-TV Morning News Anchor Rick Dayton substituting for KDKA-TV’s Money & Politics Editor Jon Delano, who is on special assignment:

On this week’s program:

The Pittsburgh Penguins continue their quest for the Stanley Cup – with the second level of NHL Playoffs, with the Washington Capitals. With tourists arriving in Pittsburgh, next week – for two, playoff games – what kind of financial bonanza will that mean, for the Pittsburgh economy? We’ll ask Craig Davis – President & CEO of Visit Pittsburgh (the local convention& visitors bureau).

Then, the amazing story of how  “Indi” —  a special, electronic tablet, designed by the Pittsburgh-based Tobii Dynavox — enables those who cannot speak (including children struggling with autism, cerebral palsy, and others, suffering from ALS),with the remarkable ability to communicate.

Robert Cunningham, Vice-President of Products and Development, for Tobii Dynavox, will demonstrate how this remarkable invention works,  and we’ll watch the reaction of a child, who is being helped, by the use of it.

Finally, we’ll meet the CEO of a Columbus, Ohio-based architecture and design firm – “Design Group” – Sherm Moreland – and find out why that company decided to open a new office, on Pittsburgh’s North Side – Nova Place (the refurbished, former Allegheny Center), and why Pittsburgh makes sense, as a place for “Design Group” to bring innovation, to its clients.

Please join Rick Dayton, Sunday morning@6:30AM., for “The Sunday Business Page”, on KDKA-TV!
