  11. In my patients case he (and his brother) are in an online home school and grandma is the learning coach. Sometimes she is unable to be in the room.
  12. He is working with ST on a DynaVox that picks up his eyes. His responses are very intermittent. ST is trying to get CG to use a head or foot switch as needed. His responses OVERALL are pretty random, so pretty much it would be a guess at answer to...
  13. So far, sit with him during on-line classes and ? guess how he is responding to the teachers questions. He is non-verbal but does answer questions SOMETIMES by moving his tongue or feet.
  14. If a patient is non-verbal and home schooled, how much participation in the patients school work is expected by the PDN? I am new to PD and looking for input. Thank you in advance! :-)
