I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Yonkers 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 $8,550.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $8,550 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $360
• Delivery and set-up: $195
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $7,995
I hope life is good to you.
