Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Crystal in Sheffield
Crystal needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,750.
🇬🇧 Sheffield, England, United Kingdom3,325 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Sheffield 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 $6,750.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $6,750 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $160
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $6,500
• Delivery and set-up: $90
Thanks for reading all this.
