A Smartbox (Grid / Grid Player) Case Study
Ashley Mohesky, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with cerebral palsy, faced the challenge of being unable to speak coherently and relied on energy-intensive methods to communicate. This hindered her ability to express her cognitive abilities and pursue her educational and career goals. She turned to Smartbox and their Grid software running on a Grid Pad 12 device to find a solution.
The solution implemented by Smartbox was the Grid Pad 12 with eye gaze technology and the Fast Talker grid set within the Grid software. This allowed Ashley to communicate and control her computer entirely with her eyes. The results were a drastic increase in her communication speed and the elimination of fatigue. This empowered her to graduate with a master's degree, become a therapist, and create research posters for conferences, profoundly impacting her professional and personal life.
