voice-activated" telephones are relatively unreliable; particularly given
prognosis for speech with ALS diagnosis. She may wish to seek intervention
through a assistive technology Center that can set her up with a switch
access
and evaluation. Then she can take a look at a RC 200
probably. I
am hardly in the Minnesota area, but closer than you are Alisa! Mayo Clinic
has
an assistive technology Center, and I think the courage Center is also
somewhere
in Minnesota? Maybe put her in touch with one of
those? Ed

[mailto:hellingboe85@xxxxxxxxx] Hello. My name is Heather Ellingboe and my Grandmother
is
currently fighting ALS. She no longer has use of her arms and her hands
seem to
be getting worse and I am trying to find a completely voice activated
telephone
(preferably home phone) that she can use. I have been on dozens of websites
and
the only ones that I can find are sold online only and do not come with any
type
of guarantee. I am weary about buying one of these as they are expensive
and I
want to be sure that the device I buy will work with her situation. Do you
know
of any stores I can buy one of these phones at (we live in Minnesota) or
can you
at least lead me in the right direction as to what products you know of
that
work well and possibly websites for those products. Thank you very much for
your
time. If the information contains legally privileged or confidential information, you have an obligation to comply with all laws and regulations regarding its disclosure and safe keeping.
