Amy,

The listserv would not allow the pictures. I tried to "force" them through but kept getting blocked because the size of the attachment was too big.

So if you could post the pictures to Pinterest and give us the link, we would appreciate it!

Hi Alisa,

Please let us know about the accessability features of RocketKeys. They state you can tap the screen with more than one finger. Does it average to figure out where you are trying to tap or does it zoom the area and then allow a second tap? It also seems to have auditory preview. What else? Thanks.

By the way, I tried post 3 pictures the other day on this listserv of various homemade supports for use with a foot trackball. I couldn't tell if any got posted. Is it possible to share pictures on this list? If not I can post them in Pinterest. Thanks Alisa.Sincerely,Amy Roman, MS, CCC-SLPAugmentative Communication SpecialistForbes Norris ALS Research and Treatment Center2324 Sacramento StreetSan Francisco, CA 94115Cell (415)518-0592

I’m looking for an iPad app for a patient of mine with ALS. He can still type and utilize a digital selection method. He does have vision trouble and has to increase text size to large and extra large on his iPad. I spoke to Gus Tech and the rep said that ProloQuo2go and EZSpeech do not allow for increased text sizes. Are you aware of another app for communication that allows the patient to increase font size?
