Hello, My husband used a Quha Zono head mouse attached to his glasses and then used Proloquo4text app and the Dialogue AAC app. With help from Team Gleason he banked his voice at Acapela voice and got bought it with a grant from Team Gleason. I believe both can be used without a banked voice...

Thanks so much

Hello, I had previously posted on this site about the Liko sling and portable suction devices. I am sad to say my husband lost his battle with ALS in December. As I mentioned previously it was a fast progression. We are heartbroken and miss him so. He handled his diagnosis and all that he...

Thank you so much Jim, I really appreciate it. It would be great to try it out ahead of time to see if it would work for us. I think we would have to put the Liko sling under my husband as we do the traditional split leg sling with plastic insert and that’s rolling him on his side and placing...

Thanks for your feedback. We just got the Devilbiss.

Hi, I’ve seen the helpful discussion of the: Liko HygieneVest High Back Sling Model 55 and I have a few questions. We are using the usual u-shaped sling with plastic support under the back that came with his original hoyer when ordered by the ALS Clinic. Because it’s so bulky, we can’t...

Hi to all, Not a new caregiver but new to posting. My husband was diagnosed at the end of Feb 2020. He may have been “lucky” in that his first symptoms were noticed in Oct 2019 - so a fairly short time to diagnosis. And maybe “unlucky” because that seemed to have pointed to a faster...
