Hi Folks,
Does anyone know of a LED (or something similar) display with possible larger style keyboard that could help a stroke victim whose still in hospital making a slow recovery but still can't speak and does not have the strength to use a pen.
Whilst the hospital are very good at helping the physical side not being able to speak must be extremely frustrating.
That is why I am asking about something that is practical and would allow the patient to put up letters a lot larger than an ipad maybe. I don't think a laptop would be practical.
Any ideas gratefully appreciated.
Thanks a lot

There's plenty out there; they are seriously expensive. Have a google and see what may be suitable, or speak to the OT at the hospital, as they are specialists in the field.0

Finding that fighting to do difficult stuff does dramatically help in what recovery there may be.
'Not have the strength to hold a pen' - can they move their arm over a surface without touching it?0
