Independence for Valentina: communication tablet with eye tracking
Help Valentina get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can speak with the people around her.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia797 views
Valentina lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Sydney Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $10,150.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Valentina could speak with the people around her. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
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 $10,150 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $9,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $180
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• First-year servicing plan: $325
Every share and every dollar helps.
