Mary’s Transcription
Hello, my name is Mary. I have benefitted from my work with Nik. I am a deaf-blind person and his teaching me how to use the deaf-blind communicator has so kept my world of communication open. I live in a residential facility and several of the care providers here have used it, and are glad to be able to talk with me. The goal is for a staff member to work with me 10 minutes each day so that I will not feel so isolated where I live. A few of my friends have used it when visiting, including the person handling my finances.
In addition, Nik has taught me how to use a TTY. This tool allows me to inform my financial person what I am needing in the way of personal care items allowing for some independence.
All in all, I have truly appreciated all that Nik has taught me me and the independence it gives me.
