Can he get funded for an environmental control unit through his insurance or a settlement? Is there an organization that might donate an ECU? How old is he? Might he qualify for Make-A-Wish?

An ECU could include a phone but also independent control over the TV, radio, a fan, bed controls, drapes open/closed, even unlocking and opening the front door to let friends or PCAs in. They range in price from about $1000 up.

What state is your friend in? Some states have a program through the phone company that provides low cost but high tech phones for people with disabilities. It would be good to check on this with their local phone company.
