Belinda - I've printed your note and will let you know what we find out. There are so many out there - our speech therapist is setting an appointment with one of the dealers/occupational therapists. Because of Bob's lack of dexterity in his fingers (can print some, but not legible to most), we may not be able to use any kind of keyboard (our 1st choice.) There are just too many to mention here - from clickin on icons to clicking on words you have programmed to enlarged keyboards to voice-activated devices. I will let you know what we find out.

Best of luck to you - best to get exercises from a speech therapist and practice, practice, practice. We've pretty much lost the ability altogether here - heart attack really hit the MSA where speech was concerned. But we try, and do use hand signals for yes and no.
