Hi Alisa

 

It’s probably the most challenging area of work that I have been involved with. The best success has always been with devices with very limited functionality, using large external switches;

 

i)                     either 1 function per switch, such as the Big Jack (  http://www.abilia.com/en/product/big-jack-ir-6sp?product_category=24  )

ii)                   or devices with very limited scanning options, auditory feedback and good switch input filtering. Possum Freeway (http://www.possum.co.uk/product/123 ) works and there is a newer version recently released. Also Steeper Activ (http://assistive-technology.co.uk/products/environmental_control_devices/activ )

 

Cheers

 

Jeremy

Does anyone have experience with using electronic ECU devices for people with Huntington's disease?  Does one specific product stand out?  Is successfully used?  Advice appreciated. 

 

Thanks,
