Hi,
We purchased my tobii for our son some 17 months ago. He is aged 21yrs and has no speech. Prior to my tobii he had the use of a pathfinder which he operated with chin switches. These were very very cumbersome.

The my tobii has been amazing allowing him to interact much more quickly and easily. He has made lots of different grids for speech using the grid. Accessing the internet is another plus and being able to txt your friends by mobile.

However, I must point out that there are some minor problems you might want to consider.
ie. The tobii screen is very difficult to see and use in direct sunlight. We have tried all kinds of shading but can`t overcome this problem. Also , although the my tobii we purchased is mobile it does not have an integrated battery and batteries need to be purchased in addition, alongwith the charger.
Something else you may want to consider if you are purchasing the mobile version of my tobii and your daughter drives a wheelchair- once the screen is mounted your view forward is blocked to a large extent and driving would be very dangerous to say the least.

We have seen all versions of the available eye tracking devices and can say that the my tobii is the most sophisticated by far. We are looking forward to a continued improvement on design which we are sure will come in time. I would also like to point out that the staff at my tobii are always very polite and helpful if you have any questions or comments to make.
We wish you all the best and hope these comments have been helpful.

Kind regards Sue (Mother)
