A multitude of options. Consider eyegaze, head mouse other alternative mouse and switch. A winslate with Grid 3, tobii dynavox PRC and others will do all of the above. I would have them contact local distributors and vendors who can probably support coming in for an eval, or contact local AAC clinics in North CA?

Subject: text to speech for PD w/limited fxn

Hi all,

What are good text to speech options (if any) for a patient with advanced Parkinson’s and limited hand function. I realize this is a bit vague, a neurologist I work with is asking me for his aunt. I’d have her come to me but she lives in northern California. Are there apps that work with switches? Thanks!
