this is my first update since i lost my ability to use my hands to type.
i have now lost my ability to walk and use of my hands as well.
i am using a tobii dynavox system with eye gaze tEchnology to type each letter which is slow and tedious but better than not being able to communicate.
it is a loaner to see how i like it. i tried a different system on friday that seemed promising also but i will be several weeks before i can have a loaner.
in the meantime i have tobii system for a while longer. it tires my eyes but i get a little better every day.
special thanks to jessica, elijia, andjamie from psu for providing more manual communications boards and facilitating the vendor demos and equipment loans!
