Hello all,

correct. I have clients who can see but prefer me tapping on the tops of
their hands, or using the buzzers or headphones with auditory beeps instead
of using their eyes to track movements. You can also purchase a light bar
which simulates the finger movements for those who do wish to track with
their eyes.
Research suggests that eye movements in tapping are the best, but my
philophosy is whatever works for the client because it will make them more
comfortable and thus be more successful.

Thanks,

Beth
