Positioning/Mobility

Students with physical disabilities are still ABLE. They do not let their disability get in the way. This is all thanks to assistive technology that gives them more control over their body. 

The limitations that students with physical disabilities face can range anywhere from limited leg movement to hand movement to finger movement. The tool this post will focus on can help with all three of those: The EyeGaze Edge Tablet. 

This device allows the user to communicate through the use of their eyes. They simply move their eyes to the area on the screen they so choose in order to write, select an option, etc. This is an excellent resource both in the classroom and at home. Students are able to communicate their wants and needs through a simple eye gaze. They can even begin to write out what they want to say. There is word processing software that predicts and helps speed along the process as well. 

You can buy the EyeGaze Edge Tablet at logantech.com. It is quite expensive (a little bit over $10,500) but being able to communicate with someone who otherwise cannot, at least not in the capacity that they can with this device, is priceless.
