Independence for Puja: communication tablet with eye tracking
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Puja independence - we're $5,900 away.
🇬🇧 Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom1,374 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Edinburgh General Hospital 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 $5,900.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $5,900 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $5,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $140
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• First-year servicing plan: $165
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon, Puja. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 39 people at work. Thinking of Edinburgh.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Puja
It's all in the list in the story. communication tablet with eye tracking is the big one at $5,500, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Edinburgh.
