Good question! I was under the impression that besides the NueroNode switch, we can't really ever get funding for a switch, so while I may write in the report that they will be using eye gaze with switch selection, I note that they will either purchase their own switch or use one from our loan closet. I'll be interested to see if other people have different experiences.

Thanks!

Has anyone written documentation for insurance funding for eye gaze with switch for click selection? Or are you leaving the switch selection out of it? The folks I have so far using switch access with eye gaze have gotten their switches from our loan closet. Right now, I'm looking at documenting need for a switch with eye gaze so the user can turn on his SGD independently.
