Sorry, The patient’s speech is not
intelligible on the telephone any longer. His partner and family want him to
start
using texting. They are up for a new phone and I was hoping to point
them
toward a few models that have a good (i.e., larger) keyboard or those
that have been successfully used with other
pALS. Thanks for asking for the
clarification. Lisa M. Bruening, M.S.,

[mailto:xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Antoinette Verdone Lisa, I am not 100% clear what you are
asking
for? Can the patient speak? Why does
he
want to do text? Assistive Technology

[mailto:xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of lisa 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! Lisa M. Bruening, M.S., CCC-SLP Patient Services Coordinator The ALS Association phone: 216-592-2572 toll free: 888-592-2572 fax: 216-592-2575 Check out our webpage:
