I am hoping that the various moderators can be
flexible in extreme circumstances? :-)
A friend of mine is dying of ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease/
Motor Neurone Disease. She can no longer speak at all
or move much, but continues to communicate by email
using a mouse attached to a pair of glasses, which she
manipulates with head movements. Now the muscles in
her neck are being affected by the disease.
We have heard about an "eye mouse" which works by eye
movements. Does anyone know anything at all about this
or about any other available technology that might
help?
If you have ANY information (including that the
technology doesn't exist) could you please contact me
at <deirdrewilliams2000@yahoo.co.uk> or Jane King
<kingjane@gmail.com>
Thank you
Deirdre
