Despite having speech and body movements compromised by Cerebral Palsy, Daniel always enjoyed interacting.
Born in 1997 in Salgueiro-PE and currently studying Computing at the Federal Institute of Sertão Pernambucano, Daniel uses the computer to perform research, write texts and learn how to use graphic applications such as Photoshop: all of that with the help of Key-X, controlled with the blink of his eyes captured through the a-blinX switch.
Moreover, in order to communicate, answer questions and manifest his characteristic sense of humor, Daniel uses the TelepatiX app on an Android tablet connected to his a-blinX =)

During many years of Daniel’s school life, what made his life the hardest was the long time to do the activities, especially textual production. A syllabic chart was used for a long time where he nodded to the desired syllable and the support professional spelled the words. After that, we acquired a pointer that was placed on his head, but it was an inviable attempt. Nowadays he uses the Key-X keyboard that meets his needs, because with this resource he has full access to the computer, including the possibility to surf the web, use social networks, type texts, play games, and finally participate in computer classes, a class that’s part of the curriculum of Integrated High School Informatics.
Another fundamental advantage is that the physical effort required to use this keyboard is much smaller than that required by the head pointer.
To send his messages faster he uses another resource, the TelepatiX app installed on his tablet.
I can only thank the efforts, the commitment and the assistance of the Geraes company. May God illuminate the minds of every component of this company so that they may continue to collaborate to overcome obstacles and barriers that hinder the teaching and learning process of people with cerebral palsy, contributing to their inclusion.
