Patty with-Chin Switch

This week was another week to remember! Teresa recently introduced a chin switch as an option to give Patty switch access that will allow her to control battery-adapted devices (think radio, lights, fan, etc.) and could well provide a tool that will lead to enhancing Patty’s ability to communicate.

To support such a strategy, TEAM PATTY was launched as a summer project to provide Patty ample opportunities to practice her switch access skills. Patty’s younger sister Katty is leading TEAM PATTY with support from Teresa and yours truly. And now that she just graduated from high school, Patty will be a paid team member as her own summer intern! We’ll be sure to keep you posted.
