Bradley Heaven was born with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. While he’s non-verbal he’s able to express himself through an eye-tracking device.
“New technology is really important to me because it allows me to see what technology is out there to improve my life and to improve the lives of other people with disabilities.”“It’s literally Brad’s voice and without his eye-tracker Brad wouldn’t be able to communicate with the rest of the world,” he said. “He has quite the personality so he’s a little chatterbox on this thing.”, which serves as a one-stop shop for information and shares their story.
O’Connor said he could never have imagined it would all be possible when he first started working with Heaven 10 years ago. “From an outsider looking in it looks like I’m the one helping Brad.
