What about the Sunu band?? Would she wear something on her wrist?? Or as Michael pointed out, would she be able to respond to the feedback?

You don't often get email from kassandra@....
There's a new product on the market, Biped Ai that sounds like it's exactly what you're looking for. I just checked with the Operations Manager for America, who said it is on backorder until July.?

. I can get you their direct contact information if it seems like what you're looking for.?

Best,

Hello everyone,? I need some help finding an electronic aid that is in current production for a severely disabled woman.? The list of limitations is long:? she is non-verbal, severely intellectually delayed, totally blind, must wear mitts on her hands and a helmet to prevent self harm and will not hold anything in her hands.? Anything placed in her hand is dropped immediately.? The only potential solution I can think of is an ETA that will hang around her neck, but my internet searches are coming up empty.? The residential facility where she lives is willing to support this but is anyone still making them?? Whatever it is, it cannot be on her face (like Sonar Glasses) nor handheld.? It has to attach to her body somehow.? I recall one that went on the wrist but I don¡¯t even know if that will work because of the mitts.?

?

Any leads would be appreciated!
