Hi Erica,

There are many options. She really needs trials with alternative access methods. With a tremor there are certain settings to consider. I would suggest she get an AAC evaluation from a specialist. Parkinson's presents unique challenges.

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!

Erica
