Kati and Henning van der Hoeven - Air Alphabet: Speaking with Your Eyes

If unable to move or to speak, how could you communicate with others?

Besides speaking, there are also different ways that a person can use to communicate.

They can use their hands, for example, to write, draw, point, using sign language. However, all those systems require some ability to move.

One can also use their eyes as a means of communication. Not just by making gestures with their eyes or blinking, but to actually speak with their eyes.

Kati has Locked-In Syndrome, which means that she is almost entirely paralyzed. Moreover, she cannot speak either. Kati talks with her eyes.

The life of a disabled person is challenging and sometimes even bleak. It is even more so if the person cannot speak. Being able to communicate can make a whole lot of difference. It can even turn a horrendous nightmare into a beautiful dream.
