A Tobii for Talking<\/a><\/strong> — from Teaching Learners with Multiple Special Needs<\/p>\n

\"MYTOBII<\/a><\/p>\n

“Today was the first day of a 4 week trial rental of a Tobii P10 eye gaze communication device<\/a> for a student in my class.\u00a0 This has been a long time in coming for this student.\u00a0 There have been many sessions with every maker of every brand of eye gaze AAC device on the marker.\u00a0 There has been some pretty intensive low tech intervention around eye gaze along with ongoing discussions, data collection and educational planning.\u00a0 There were web based trainings, practice with the evaluations software and two face-to-face introductory trainings with our local Tobii rep Chris (who is spectacular).\u00a0 Time was spent showing the student the software and pre-training on the symbol set and the different lay-outs.”<\/p>\n
