Technology Enables 10-Year-Old Meredith to Communicate for the First Time

The MTeam's Chief Motivating Officer Meredith Lewis was born with FOXG1 which has meant she is nonverbal and can not control her body movements. Besides what she say through her beautiful smiles, she can not communicate.

The MTeam was privileged to be able to donate to Meredith's school an innovative piece of technology called the Tobii PCEye Plus which, for the first time, has given Meredith and her other non-verbal classmates a voice.

The system works through eye-tracking technology, allowing students to control a mouse on a screen with their eyes, then translating that into a voice. They can play games and eventually communicate their basic needs or even say "I love you" to their parents.
