I posted over a month ago and got very helpful advice. I wanted to thank all who replied once again. I spent a wonderful week with my sister. I have to admit there were tears but there was also a lot of laughter. My sister's spirits lifted and we went out for a walk every day to her favorite hangout spots.
We used a manual communication device when I couldn't figure out what she was trying to convey. It was slow at times but we muddled through!
Her new eye movement communication system is getting installed on her computer on Monday. The whole process has been a little frustrating to say the least. It has been on going for two months now and they still don't have everything figured out! The main issue is that she will need to have the computer at an angle because she finds sitting very tiring. As things stand, basically she will be limited to using the system when someone is there to hold the computer at the right angle for her. Very restrictive. I want her to be able to have unrestricted access.
They thought of installing either a bar or a ceiling system but both plans have drawbacks and nothing has been done yet. The speech therapist in charge doesn't seem to know how to proceed. Any ideas?
