SARANAC LAKE — Last week, Emma Dalton and her mother Jen watched as Anderson Cooper told his audience about how Emma stays connected to her group of friends with Rett syndrome across the country using a variety of technologies.
Emma is 14 and has Rett syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that limits her motor skills and her ability to talk. But using eye-tracking and speech-generating technology she communicates fluently with friends, family and classmates at Saranac Lake High School.
