It’s been a while since I’ve asked or seen this conversation circulating. I have a fairly non dysarthric patient with mild onset of respiratory  compromise which affects volume some but generally speaking his voice and speech are his strengths. Patient has no residual use of hands or legs.

 

He has asked me the best phone or method to use for phone service. He can no longer push the home button to wake his iphone 5s and cannot scroll as hand function is now completely absent.

 

Suggestions? Patient is willing to purchase new phone or equipment. He wants to be able to make a phone call, dictate in apps, write letters/notes, get on social networking, etc.

 

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!
