Can't answer this specific question. However, LC Technologies' Eye Gaze Edge has some settings to accommodate nystagmus. I'd work with Nancy Cleaveland before completely ruling out eye tracking.

Colleagues,

I received the following email below. I would like to ask you what your preferred eye blink switch is???? I have my own “favorite” but would prefer hearing from others….

Also if you want to chime in with suggestions for this therapist, please feel free

I am looking for a switch for an i-pad (iOS 9.2) that runs ProLoQuo4.

The pt has ALS, is cognitively intact and cannot use eye-gaze due to nystagmus.

He at present has use of one finger and direct access to the device is getting difficulty.

Ideally, I would like something that can also operate via eye-blink (or an additional recommendation for that type of switch) if he loses his finger function.

He was looking at the inclusivetic products (the applicator and iswitch) but I don’t know enough about them or any switches for that matter to make a reasonable recommendation.
