This is the heartwarming moment a severely disabled woman says “I love you mum” for the first time thanks to a hi-tech computer which enables her to speak using her eyes.

Pauline Rett, 36, has been unable to talk or move her hands since she was diagnosed with Rett syndrome, a rare neurological disorder, when she was two years old.

She has spent her entire life confined to a wheelchair and unable to communicate other than through facial expressions and limited movements.

But now she can talk to her family after they saved up to buy a £9,000 computer which converts Pauline’s eye movements into speech.

This footage was filmed on January 13 in Kidderminster, south of Birmingham.
