Augmented Communication Device for Special Education Learning.

There is a little girl that I work with at John Muir Elementary school who is completely paralyzed but she has a normal IQ. She cannot speak, walk, feed herself, or go to the bathroom on her own, but she is very smart. Just recently through her IEP plan, the school was able to provide her with an augmented communication device. She is learning to use this device in order to allow her to communicate. the device works by reading the movement of her eyes. The problem for many children who are receiving these devices is that they are not properly trained on how to use them and then the money spent on the machine goes down the drain. The girl I work with, has a similar problem. No one is training her how to use her device, because there is a lack of knowledge in the system. There are certain centers around the nation that provide this service, but they do not come cheap, and they are not that nearby. This is a problem because a machine that could open the world up to this little girl, could also end up in the garage because she never learns to use it and doesn't stay motivated. Do any of you have other solutions to this problem?
