EyeLink2
Description
Non-electronic communication device to support message exchange.
Rapid message transfer for the most severely disabled, communicatively impaired patient is possible via direct selection of letters and symbols using the eyes. Through eye pointing, the patient and communication partner use EyeLink2’s clear letter and symbol chart to spell messages quickly and easily despite even severe physical impairment.
EyeLink2’s simple communication method is perfect for use in the ICU setting for intubated, tracheostomized and ventilator dependent patients, quadriplegic, and locked-in patients. Patients with neurogenic diseases such as ALS, MS, Guillain-Barré, cerebral palsy and brainstem stroke can use this non-electronic method of message transfer when access to more sophisticated electronic solutions is not available or accessible.

Customer Reviews
"The EyeLink is made of sturdy materials. I used this product to teach eye gaze communication in my intro to adult neuro speech disorders. The students enjoyed this active learning experience."
"Our facility uses EyeLink, and it is a great low tech option." – Marlene T.L., SLP
"Letter boards like EyeLink2 are so helpful for communication for people with ALS." – The Joe Martin ALS Foundation
"EyeLink can be helpful for spelling if education/literacy level and vision are adequate. It can be a game-changer communication-wise." – Brooke R., SLP
"I think you might be surprised by the ease of use and decreased need for optimal positioning with EyeLink. Since the burden is on the "listener" to move the EyeLink around to "link" and the "speaker" just needs to maintain looking at the letter, the spacing of the EyeLink between the two communicators seems to be the key variable. Speed of spelling ramps up quickly. Also a great way to easily jump into encoded messages." – Mary D.J., SLP
"I recommend EyeLink as I've had some really good results with it." – Stephanie H.M., SLP
