She also only 45 lbs and uses a walker. Someone else has to carry it near by and in the bitter cold it often in her knapsack during travel to and from school and activities so she is without words so often. She doesn't have the balance to carry it herself and she couldn't handle the added weight on her walker.

He had worn his ‘talker’ on a variety of carrying devices for more than 15 years before both his PT and orthopedic surgeon recommended he stop doing so. We were also encouraged to place Josh’s device in more supportive position to decrease his time looking down as much as possible.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05439029722528057897noreply@blogger.com
