You can also try Easyblue which allows for single switch input, if head motion required by no button headset is too much.

And I have been able to build up the button using a variety of materials to allow for whole hand activation as well as even mounting the whole phone by someones head...  
Obviously a short term measure but an option...

Hi all,

 

I have a PALS who is still using his iphone regularly but due to extremity weakness is struggling to access his phone. He has the accessibility home button on his display screen which has helped a lot to avoid having to exert pressure, but his main question was is a way to make “siri” switch accessible? Or accessible ANY other way than by holding down hold button? His voice is strong so he is great at using voice commands. Thank you in advance!
