Communication and computer access
Alert Button
We modified a doorbell so a young man can easily alert his caregiver during the night by pressing a button with his head.
CanConnect
An exciting technology from CanAssist that helps those who have difficulty using a phone or computer to stay in touch with the people they love, through both a visual and audio connection.
Classroom Alert System
We developed a customized light that is letting a Grade 1 boy indicate to his teacher that he wants to speak in class.
Dynamic Keyboard
For people who would like to type on a computer but are unable to use either regular keyboards or full onscreen ones. The Dynamic Keyboard works with a variety of input devices, including a mouse, touch-screen pad and several others.
Headband-Operated EMG Switch
A device that helps people communicate by contracting the muscles in their face. Clients are fitted with a special headband lined with surface electrodes and when their facial muscles contract, a switch is activated.
Headband-Operated EMG Switch with Mouse Click Box
The electrical activity produced by contracting one's facial muscles activates a Mouse Click Box which, in turn, can be programmed to control a function on a computer.
iPad Stand
A simple stand for the iPad helps a toddler with vocal paralysis make choices and communicate with her world.
Keyboard Support Stand
A customized adjustable keyboard stand makes working more comfortable for a young man who types with his mouth.
KeySurf
A program that lets users surf the web with a keyboard instead of a mouse by spelling the first letters of each desired link.
Voice Amplification System Modification
We modified a commercial voice amplification system so a client using a wheelchair could use it independently and be heard more easily.
