A DISABLED teenager has been given the "biggest gift of her life" - a way to communicate.

Lea Clarke suffers from eplieptic seizures, is unable to sit up or walk and is fed through a tube in her stomach.

She also has a myriad of complex medical conditions which has seen her admitted to hospital on numerous occasions including for operations to have spinal rods inserted.

The 13-year-old, who started having fits at just three months old, is categorised as having high risk communication, in medical terms, because it is so limited.

But a new programme and computer means she can now use her eyes to tell others how she feels.

Mum Jo, of Station Road, Lawford, said: "This computer is absolutely phenomenal. It is something she can do for herself, she has the control."
