The Opportunity Foundation of America (OFOA) recently began a partnership with Boston College to bring EagleEyes to individuals with disabilities in the US and beyond. The goal of the Foundation is to manufacture the miniaturized systems and to give them away for free to facilities and families who can make good use of them.

The Opportunity Foundation has contracted to have five initial prototype EagleEyes boxes manufactured. Systems will be placed in Craighalbert Centre in Cumbernauld, Scotland, United Cerebral Palsy in Salt Lake City, Goodwill Columbus in Columbus, Ohio, and Boston College.

The Opportunity Foundation is a non-profit organization that endeavors to improve the quality of life for people with severe physical and mental disabilities. The Foundation is based in Salt Lake City.

Debbie Inkley, Co-Founder and Executive Director, said “We are excited about the opportunity of EagleEyes to improve the lives of so many people with severe disabilities. We hope to make EagleEyes available to the public on a much larger scale.”

Individuals have already started to work with the new EagleEyes systems. Recently, the Foundation began working with eleven year old Cameron Olivares. Cameron has severe cerebral palsy which leaves him totally dependent on others for all of his needs. Even though this energetic young man has only been working with EagleEyes for a few months, he has already begun to exert his new found independence. Cameron’s eyes and contagious smile light up the room during his EagleEyes sessions. He loves playing “Shoot the Aliens” and his little brother and sister are always there cheering him on.

Cameron’s parents are extremely enthusiastic and are determined to help him reach his full potential. “We feel Cameron has a lot to say and a lot to do. We were excited when a good friend of ours showed us the Michael Nash DVD. Even though Cameron has only been working with EagleEyes for a relatively short period of time, we are very optimistic. We believe that EagleEyes will help him achieve everything we have always known he can .
