Siobhan lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Dublin General Hospital 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 $2,850. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Siobhan could attend work interviews. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $2,850 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,350 • Fitting and training sessions: $220 • Delivery and set-up: $155 • First-year servicing plan: $125 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
