Y the boy with cerebral palsy and a mild intellectual disability he is 12 years old.
His parents came to Fairhaven school complaining his feelings of disappointed and frustrated because he couldn’t learn or communicate with others because no center or special school in Alexandria accepted him.
When he started training with our team on AAC we started with him using eye pointing.
At that time he could choose between two options then more options.
After that he started to learn how to read and write.
Then he received his eye tracker as a gift from Sweden.
Mina, the data manager at the center installed the software and it was with excitement we tested to see if Y could use this system.
It turned out to work perfectly.
Y was so exultant and began using his eyes to control the computer.
The joy was great! A new lift began for Y. he can now control his own computer.
In the school Y has started writing words and sentences expressing what he needs and what he want to have a discussion about with him.
