Stacey
Stacey uses a communication aid, which needs to be positioned just above her lap for her to be able to use it comfortably. Sometimes, though, it gets in the way of other activities, such as eating or writing, and she previously had to rely on other people to move it for her.
MERU created a specialised metal bracket that is attached to Stacey's wheelchair. This holds the communication aid directly in front of her, and now she can pull it towards her or push it away at will. It also features a detachable hinge, so the communicator can be completely removed when required.
