Comments

I have used DAF with an individual with Parkinson's disease (PD)(moderate hypokinetic dysarthria and palilalia) with some success. When I ordered the device, the manufacturer was insistent that I needed FAF because the patient had PD. Is there support for that recommendation? Also, could anyone explain why this was deemed so important for an individual with PD? I thank you in advance for any input.
