Week at Camp

So, I'm finishing out a week at camp Jabberjaw in Mississippi. This is a family camp where communication device users attend in order to have fun and learn more about their devices. We have been attending for three years and it has always been great fun for us. This year it was even more exciting. As some of you know, my youngest uses a communication device and has does so via scanning. Basically this means that there is a box that moves automatically through the selections and she clicks a switch when the box is on the right choice for what she wants to say. At camp this year, though, we discovered eye gazing. This is where she merely has to look at the selection she wants in order to activate the voice of her device. It is amazing how quickly she learned this and how easily she was able to make her selections. She could say 10 things in the time it was taking her to say 1 before. We are so excited about this possibility and are hopeful that insurance will be helpful in our latest quest to find technology that can assist our daughter.
