Independence for Balaji: communication tablet with eye tracking
Balaji needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system will not fund; the cost is $900.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India1,566 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Pune Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $900 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $780
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
