Henry - New Zealand
Farmer Henry Geerts suffered acute spinal cord injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a motorcycle accident on his New Zealand property.
New Zealand's innovative Accident Compensation Corporation provided a NeuroSwitch for Henry. Working with his Speech Language Therapist Leisha Williams Henry was able to use NeuroSwitch to communicate with his carers, therapists and family.
Testimonial from Michelle Geerts
"Thankyou for all that you did with your NeuroSwitch for my husband Henry (Tauranga, NZ), who was diagnosed with Locked-in-Syndrome in 2002.
"It was great to see him feel worthy and get in touch with the outside world independently - rather than relying on his only other form of communication - the up and down eye movement alphabet charts."
