Innovative Technology

It’s the scene that a decade ago might have been considered science fiction: A young girl is composing sentences and communicating with a parent courtesy of her retina. Communicating with the eyes, in today’s world of tech-savvy assistive technology, is about more than looking into the window of the soul. It’s about harnessing voice technology, eye-tracking software, mobility supports, and other electronic means to enhance interaction among children and adults who are non-verbal or non-ambulatory by nature and the people who care about them. Today, technology ignites possibilities that allow us to cross the communication divide and the pathway ahead.
