"Hello Mum" - James speaks for the first time in 16 years with eye tracking assistive communication

James, diagnosed with the rare Lennox Gastaut syndrome, hadn't been able to talk to his mother, until he, at age sixteen, tried a Tobii Dynavox I-Series+ speech generating device... learn more at www.tobiidynavo...

This gave me happy goosebumps for James and his mom to say “hello mum” ❤️

It's kind of frustrating to watch the entire thing and not get to see him even using the thing at all. 🤦‍♂️

[@serinadelmar6012]

ikr it’s really curious, you would’ve thought that would be the most important thing.

We need everyone to assist us as people with disabilities we all want to talk

But the content of this video exemplifies taking communication for granted!

It would've been nice to actually 'hear' James express himself using the new technology. I'm always surprized that posts such as this get almost no views or comments, yet if someone posts a video of their cat doing a handstand, or someone falling down the stairs, then those immediately go viral. It seems people are afraid to face the harsh reality of life, rather preferring to live inside a bubble of nonsense.

Visionery1, I agree. Seems the world is twisted.
