Grant Award

St. Mary’s Kids

We were happy to return to St, Mary’s Kids to fulfill another Grant request. Our funds will be used to purchase an additional Eye Gaze device. The Eye Gaze Communication system helps children communicate where previously, due to speech and other impairments, they could not. The device reads the child’s eye movements and thereby allows communication. The Eye Gaze devices have been greatly beneficial to so many kids at the St. Mary’s Kids facility, allowing them an ability to communicate with others to a degree that once seemed impossible! Truly a great investment!

In addition to sharpening time management, communication, and organization skills, students also gain compassion and learn how to advocate for service dogs and their partners. While the positive effect of the program on its students and the surrounding community is significant, the people who most benefit from your support of ADEPT are those who become partners with the service dogs trained in the program." -Alana, ADEPT Intern.
