There are two products that I am aware
of
that will allow your computer to send IR
signals. http://www.minomech.com/Prod_EC_dodger.html http://www.rjcooper.com/eadl-package/index.html I have not used either of these
devices,
but in theory, you should be able to train the remote signal to these
devices
and assign a button on the computer to allow him to activate it with the
headmouse. My only concern is that some remote
signals don’t train well, you may want to test the IR training part
on a
Tash Mini Relax or an AAC device, just to make sure that if you train the
IR
signal that it will perform the action. Hope this
helps. Antoinette Verdone, MSBME,

I tried to post this the other day, but I'm not sure it went out to
everyone ont he lsit serve. Here is the casewith which I need
assistance: person with ALS mid 50's poor arm and hand control no walking sits in lift chair in assisted living
facility does not currently use his power chair has good head control and good speech
production runs his computer through his flat panel tv
monitor He used to be able to use the remote to change "input" to
computer and back to TV when he was done with the
computer He can borrow a headmouse and use tracker software to do computer
functions, but how can he independently change the input from TV to
computer
and back again? Thanks, Lisa Bruening, M.S, CCC-SLP Patient Services Coordinator 888-592-2572 |
