Eye blink switch

[forumuser]

Does my student have to be able to hold her head quite still in order to be able to use an eye blink switch?  Does the SETC have an eye blink switch that I can borrow?

I just went on the AMDI website and it looks like the eye-blink switch attaches with a head strap, so I don't think the student would have to hold their head very still. We have a twitch switch in our lending library but I don't believe we have an eye-blink switch. They're not one of the more frequently used.
The AMDI eye blink switch is the high tech version (http://www.amdi.net/store/product.asp?intProdID=303), around $625.00, but there's a low tech version for $125.00 from Enabling Devices. (http://enablingdevices.com/catalog/capability_switches/hand-finger-body-switches/eye-blink-switch)

We have a student in my district using the "low-tech" eye blink switch successfully. It hooks on to a pair of old sunglasses (lenses removed) and this student is able to blink responses. It was purchased through Enabling Devices.
