We first used a large clear board with a keyboard printed on it. All we had to do was have him look at a letter and then we would move the bord around till he looked us in the eye. Then the letter we were looking at was the one he wanted to use. It would eventualy type something out. That is not a good long term plan so we bought a vanguard II from www.prentrom.com and it worked by tracking an infrared dot on his chin to move a curser. if held the curser over a letter for a seccond it would punch it. It is a really neat device. It will plug into a computer so he could surf the internet and write books. If you are interested, we are selling it and his toshiba M15-s405 laptop for 1500$. They normally go for like 8000. If i can be of any assistance please e-mail. We are in the nashville area. Good luck, god bless.
