Case Study Take Away- Stephen Hawking

Sarah did a really good job on her presentation of Stephen Hawking and his battle with ALS. I thought it was really cool to hear about how he communicates and mobilizes. He has a "laser" attachment that synthesizes his speech for him, simply from the movement of his cheek. I am interested in looking into this further on my own time. I also thought it was interesting how early he was diagnosed, at age 21. Like my client with Parkinsons Disease, Michael J. Fox, Mr. Hawking has access to top notch services and equipment. I am looking forward to learning more about ALS!
