Creative Journey with Eyegaze AAC - Inspiring Video
Bruyère Health’s AAC clinic recently shared an inspiring video that tells the story of Lilianne, who, after being diagnosed with ALS, found new ways to express her creativity using eyegaze technology.
In the YouTube video, An artist's gaze: New tools of expression, Lilianne explains how with the right tools and support from Bruyère Health in Ottawa, she was able to reconnect with her creativity.
Using an eyegaze powered Grid Pad to access creative and image editing software, Lilianne created a unique 200-page tarot-themed colouring book, the kind she had always looked for but never found.
The result is A Coloring Journey Through the Tarot: Major Arcana Edition which is now available for purchase.
“This technology has become indispensable. It is my voice, easing communication challenges I face -- More than a tool for speech, it is essential for my mental well being...This technology has fundamentally improved my quality of life.”-- Lilianne
Her story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when accessible technology meets determination and imagination.
Thank you so much to Lilianne and the amazing team at Bruyère Health for sharing their story.
