Caregiver Access

I wish that my caregivers were allowed to access my blog. I guess for the sake of privacy laws, I lose what could have been a very valuable resource to communicate.

Early on in my AAC device using days, I explored ways to type and save documents using my eyes. I was delighted to find a method to save document files, right on my Tobii Dynavox device. Unfortunately, I also quickly discovered how easily it was to overwrite or, simply, delete a file. Not at all like a Microsoft product. Much too volatile. I find it impossible to describe how morale crushing it was to pour heart, and dogged determination into describing a best practices on my care to find it vaporized precisely when I needed it.

I tapped my Microsoft resource who said "not a problem" but it never materialized. People forget. That left an online resource; I already had a blog but would it be compatible with gaze technology? It was.

Now I, painstakingly, peck out my heart, soul, complaints, instructions, blurbs, and such for posterity. (With my eyes)
