Ellisha's World: Connecting with a Gaze!

Ellisha Eye Gaze

Meet Ellisha, one of our incredible LSC users, whose has begun taking more control over her independence!  

Ellisha has been working hard with our amazing Assistive Technology team, mastering the art of eye gaze communication. 

Thanks to their dedicated support, Ellisha, after practicing and getting to grips with the software, has acquired her very own eye gaze device from Chailey Clinical Services! This incredible technology allows her to communicate by looking at words and symbols on a screen, giving her a powerful way of communicating. 

Not only has this empowered Ellisha to use her communication tools with confidence, but it has allowed her to express herself more freely connecting with the world around her.  

But her journey isn’t stop there....

Moving forward, Ellisha is excitedly integrating her eye gaze into her home life, turning up the TV with just a glance! And the most exciting part? She's hoping to start messaging her family on WhatsApp! 💬  

This would be a truly monumental step, ensuring Ellisha is always able to converse on her terms, injecting her infectious, joyous personality into every conversation. 

We are so proud of Ellisha's determination and the incredible progress she's making. Her journey with Eye Gaze is a beautiful reminder of how technology, combined with expert support, can unlock potential and everyone at Chailey Heritage Foundation continues to maximise their independence and autonomy! 💜
