Introducing our AT Ambassador Alistair Haigh

Our very own AT Ambassador Alistair recently attended his very first client-facing appointment, let’s hope there will be many more to come!

It was a very exciting day when Al attended a school visit with me to meet Amy. Here is a short video showing some of the skills Al taught Amy on the day:

Al is a massive fan of Apple products and uses them both personally and academically.

Amy recently got a MacBook for use a school. When we were exploring different devices for Amy to use at school, Al was an integral part of the process.

Al had already experienced some of the challenges Amy is facing so was able to give clear pro’s and con’s with the devices and even supported in finding the most suitable MacBook for Amy. During the visit, Al taught Amy some of his tips and tricks for using the MacBook which he will share with you all soon.

Amazing eye gaze…

Amazing eye gaze…

Earlier this year one of our clients started using eye gaze as a communication tool. Not only does she use it to do all of her college course work, do online shopping, keep up with social media and play those addictive games like solitaire she uses it to give instructions to her support team in the kitchen. As a result of using her eye gaze so often, there has been an increased improvement in her posture which has resulted in better core strength! This is because to successfully use an eye gaze
