Earning Money While On Disability
A mySMAteam Member asked a question 💭

How do you earn money without loosing critical disability benefits and Medicare ? So, in many ways, I am very lucky. When I started needing attendant care, I did the math and there was no way I could earn enough money, keep working, and pay for attendant care. The programs in my state that cover attendant care very strictly require an individual have less than $2,000 in assets total (including such things as gold teeth, burial plots, etc) and not be employed. If not for my father's support… read more

Headrest Recommendations
A mySMAteam Member asked a question 💭

Hiii! You see, I have sma 2 and my neck is a little weak, I have been looking for a comfortable headrest for a long time but I have not been able to find one. They are all too big or do not reach the back of my neck, especially because my backrest is too high and I have been told that it can not be lowered. At home I have no problems but to go out in the street or to travel by car I have to take one of those neck pillows that are used to sleep on airplanes. I would like to replace it with… read more

How Do You Communicate?
A mySMAteam Member asked a question 💭

Cause I use a special communication device called a Dynavox & when I don't have my Dynavox I communicate through eye signals or little vocal murmurs. My Dynavox is almost like an IPAD & I access it by tapping a little switch & it scans through buttons until I select the button that I want.Here's a photo of me with my Dynavox 👇👇👇
