Very interesting story from our keynote speaker, @Ellise_Hayward_, including stages in her education where she was initially given switches, which she found frustratingly slow. She now uses eye-gaze and "nothing will stop me ever." #GetSeen – at Greenwich, London

Well we knew this was coming but much sooner than expected. Apple are bringing their own eye-gaze to iPads and iPhones using the built-in camera. Let's see how it compares with the traditional trackers, but this could be highly disruptive. #AAC

We recently donated a Grid Pad 12 to Lao Friends Hospital for Children in Northern Laos @fwabnyc
Read about SLT @DangerOT's visit, where he met Amone, a young girl with cerebral palsy. She was the first to try eye gaze and sparked excitement immediately: bit.ly/donating-an-aac-devic…

Would you be an utterly awesome person and repost our @jackblack video, asking everyone to help improve children's literacy through the power of subtitles?🙌

A long-standing problem with eye-gaze (and some head pointer systems) is that the device physically gets in the way of making conversation, and sometimes mobilising safely, by blocking the view in front.
One solution: Transparent screens!

1/2 Here's a cool solution to a significant problem. Many children with disabilities struggle to stabilise their pelvis and trunk that are required for use of upper limbs to engage in play, learning, feeding and other activities. There are plenty of swish seating systems that are – at Walthamstow, London

1/3 In #AACAwarenessMonth I'm increasing my awareness by visiting some places where AAC is emerging. Turns out that at the Dulabhatorn Foundation in Northern Thailand, Nicole and Cute haven't just been keeping pace with what's going on elsewhere, but are positively ahead! #AAC

My visit was made all the more special thanks to the kind donation from @ThinkSmartbox that will allow the children at Dulabhatorm to access games and communication via eye-gaze, including the new Look Lab. Here's young Win, amazed at using eye-gaze for the first time! #AAC.

Such an important article in summer edition of the @mndassoc #ThumbPrint.
Here Yvonne Johnson talks about the lack of awareness of MND in different cultures.
I found talking openly about Eric’s MND lead to my being ostracised, some family never spoke to me again💔
