August 21, 2008 - Arlene Disbrow, developer of the Point to Communicate system, announced today that an order has been placed for the Point to Communicate booklets by the VA Medical Center in White River Junction, VT. Arlene states that she is excited to present her system to the veterans who need it. Ms Disbrow is president of Crucial Communications, LLC in East Randolph, Vermont.
When someone loses the ability to speak and write due to illness, disease, injury, or aging, things that were once taken for granted suddenly become inaccessible and frustration and anxiety follow. With the Point to Communicate booklets, these individuals facing communication challenges can now convey their basic needs to their family, friends, and health care providers allowing for an active role in their health care decisions.
The Point to Communicate system uses easily identifiable icons to convey physical, emotional, mental, and environment needs, pain ratio and location of pain, information regarding emergency contacts, home and ambulatory issues, and much more.
The chief of Audiology, Speech and Sensory department stated that the product ‘is brilliant’ and ‘perfect for my patients who don’t want to learn the latest technology. This gives them immediate communication when they can’t speak.”
Ms Disbrow has also visited the VA Togas Medical Center in Augusta, ME and has received similar responses from the Speech and Language Department.
