Join us for exploration of accessing communication devices or computers using eye gaze or a head mouse. The eye gaze communication devices perform many functions in addition to using it as a communication device such as TV remote control, Skyping, texting, emailing etc. These devices are eligible for funding through SC Medicaid or Medicare. We will also look at eye gaze and head mouse access possibilities and software available on computers. This training is for users, family members or professionals who work with non-verbal people or people who may become non-verbal who have paralysis, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke and motor disabilities including ALS and cerebral palsy.
