Creative Expressions: Adapted Drawing
http://fullbodyparalysis.blogspot.com/2011/09/i-was-working-on-adapting-marker-for.html
Thursday, September 22, 2011. I was working on adapting a marker for an individual today when I remembered that I had documented these adaptations years ago. I found these designs worked well if an individuals hands turn due to scoliosis or for individuals who have trouble with fine motor but can move their arms. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Creative Expressions: Where do I find the parts?!
http://fullbodyparalysis.blogspot.com/2009/07/where-to-get-parts.html
Thursday, July 23, 2009. Where do I find the parts? People often ask where do I find the parts like mono plugs and jacks, wire, switches and other components used in the articles. You will likely find many of them by searching online and ordering. For example I purchased 100 tact switches for $4 on Amazon.ca. If you happen to live in a large Canadian City you can also try:. Honson Computer probably has the best prices I have found and should have most of the switch parts. 1465 Merivale Road, K2E 5N9.

Creative Expressions: Adaptive Use Musical Instrument (voice output)
http://fullbodyparalysis.blogspot.com/2009/05/adaptive-use-musical-instrument_28.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. Adaptive Use Musical Instrument (voice output). Continued from above post but with voice output. The software (Adaptive Use Musical Instrument) is quite versatile so I've come up with some unintended uses including the ability to allow individuals with eye movement to express 2 (or possibly at most 4) expressions using voice output. This works best with an individual who's head is very still. Also bring the webcam up as close as possible to make the pupil bigger.

Creative Expressions: The Eye Gaze Frame
http://fullbodyparalysis.blogspot.com/2009/07/eye-gaze-frame.html
Saturday, July 25, 2009. The Eye Gaze Frame. The eye gaze frame is a strategy that I have seen used in special needs classrooms. It allows a communication facilitator to position pictures in such a way that they can easily follow an individuals gaze to the one they are selecting or showing an interest in. I have had some success with individuals who had difficulty identifying pictures by velcroing actual tangible symbols (concrete cues) to the frame. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
