Independence for Rekha: communication tablet with eye tracking
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Rekha independence - we're $9,800 away.
🇨🇦 Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada2,193 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Sherbrooke Rehabilitation Centre 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 $9,800.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $9,800 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $9,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $170
• First-year servicing plan: $380
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
