I was just speaking the Respiratory Therapist at the ALS Center where I used to work.  We were talking about BiPap and AAC (I was mentioning that because a person can’t generally wear eye glasses when they are using a BiPap mask, it can sometimes make using AAC really challenging (i.e. if the person can’t see the computer  screen, or low tech board when they have their glasses off.)

 

The RT mentioned that there is a new mask that she has been recommending that allows a person to wear eyeglasses while they are using the mask. (She has been recommending it in cases when the person has a lot of skin breakdown on their nose)

 

She was very enthusiastic about it- I just wanted to mention it in case the info was helpful to anyone on the list.
