Affordable hands-free browsing

A great story about an affordable hands-free browsing alternative device for a child with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1. This disease severely limits the ability to move muscles movement, especially in his hands and fingers. The SmartNAV from NaturalPoint is an assistive technology that allows users to navigate websites by dwell-clicking and an on-screen keyboard with a top price of $399. This is comparable, and better - reading the testimonials on the Natural Point web site, to typical headset units that do not include those features, but still cost over $1,000 without software. The NaturalPoint SmartNav allows families to purchase his system without grants, fundraising or other extreme measures.
