Lisa,

 

I am not 100% clear what you are asking for?

 

Can the patient speak?  Why does he want to do text?

Hi!

 

Any suggestions on a verizon phone for a pALS with poor speech to upgrade to a texting phone?  He has “ok” hand use right now, but it is beginning to be impacted.

 

This will be a TOTAL change for the pALS as he has never texted or used technology (computers included).

 

Thanks!
