Note to those reviewing my page: everything written below is my work, and this portion of the article does not exist in the main article yet, which is why nothing is italicized.

Assistive Technology and Devices
Communication

Eye gaze technology can be used to assist individuals with Rett Syndrome who have limited or no verbal communication who also suffer from motor deficits. This technology works by facilitating communication through eye tracking on a digital device. Options selected by the individual can produce variable output including: verbalization of words or sentences to communicate needs/wants, selection of videos or music. Games and other forms of entertainment are also available on some devices, as well as remote control connections that allow individuals to navigate television channels or have access to social media via their device.

Mobility

Devices available to assist individuals with limited or no mobility (due to low muscle mass, apraxia, spasms. etc.) include:


 * electric wheelchairs
 * seated walkers
 * leg braces (for stabilizing the legs)

Actively looking for just the right sources, but I'll certainly add them in before making my changes public. Thanks for the reminder!
