09/30/2024 Assistive Technology

 09/30/2024

We had an appointment today with assistive technology department at Ohio State University. Jacob was scheduled to try out the Eye Gaze *Edge and the Tobii I -13. OSU was not able to effectively test the Edge Device because they locked the correct mount for it and the I -13 did not work at all. Even with his dry eye syndrome, he still prefers his old TD Pilot. I think it's just what he's used to using. 

The ladies at OSU made some substantial changes to his device, trying to help him focus, and have better luck at communicating. However, when we arrived back home, Jacob made me change it all back, making this trip a complete waste of time.

On a sidenote, I was able to reach out to Team Gleason, who informed me they had an *Edge device in their closet, which we could try for a while. They are preparing it for Jacob and will be sending it out soon.
