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 device, you need to have good posture, your face needs to be central and directly facing the camera so it can pick up your eye movements. The device should also be at a height and angle that allows you to sit comfortably and avoids any poor neck and shoulder posture. Our client has been sitting in a much better position and developed core strength as a result of regularly using eye gaze - win!

Our first interactive whiteboard!

Before Christmas, Rachid and I had a very exciting appointment setting up our first interactive white board for a client who is home schooled. The screen is a massive 86 inches and has an electronic base to higher and lower it so that she can reach the whole of the board. She can use it to complete all aspects of her home schooling and therapy programs, even her physio exercises. With the lumio software she can complete her spellings and play educational games directly on the board making it mo
