Hi there,

I have a young man who is bedbound due to a near drowning. He probably will not be in a wheelchair again but will remain in bed. We have found that he can use eye gaze successfully with an sgd. We cannot use the rolling mount due to the size of his bedroom and the space needed to care for him. We wanted to mount it overhead from a beam across the ceiling that already has his dvd player. We thought of the idea of a plate with a swiveling ball joint aka. the viewmaster.  But our a.t. consultant is very adamant that the weight of the device and mount puts it at risk for falling (this is earthquake country) and could harm our user and put the consultants at great risk. We are considering drilling a hole in the floor and inserting a pole with a cross piece that holds the sgd and will swivel for his sight line. This is pretty hard to figure out. Daessy has a wall mount-but I am not sure on it’s length. We have to leave room between the wall and his bed for his feeding machine.

Any ideas?
