Hi everyone,
My dad went to the speech therapist yesterday (mom called and got an appt before als clinic) b/c his speech is getting worse day by day. IT BREAKS MY HEART!!! My mom told me that she told the lady that she's glad she called to get him an appt since it will take 6 weeks before the Eyegaze (not sure how to spell it sorry) will be delivered. I wanted to know if anyone had ideas of what we can do if his speech goes for good before he receives the speech device? He still has some movement in his fingers so he can text, but anything else that might be easier if he needs to go to the bathroom or need anything else? His arms are very very weak so please keep that in mind as well.
Thanks!
