Thanks Tess, It should be a good day - there are a range of new devices in the UK now, including the V and some systems that mount onto tablets/existing AAC devices so should hopefully help on the weight front... If CM runs the day again, we'll give you plenty of notice so you can book your ticket! Nice weekend all.

I don't know how much the Dynavox devices are used in the UK, but they have recently come out with eye gaze control for their new Dynavox VMax device. It is not available for the smaller V, but it seems pretty exciting. We haven't been able to see a demonstration yet, but hopefully soon. We had the opportunity to try out the Tobii with a student. It is a wonderful tool, but because it weighs 50 lbs and so does the battery pack, it will not work for wheelchair mounting at this point. Good luck with the study day! I'll look forward to hearing what you come across. Tess Lakeville, MN USA No virus found in this incoming message.
