It's quite difficult to have any conversation when he cannot answer questions. He is in a nursing facility and it's difficult for us both. I am a senior and know his inability to speak makes him sad. I had a thought to try and use children's flash cards. Alpha and Numeric. And ask him to pick out the letters to spell his name. THIS just to see if he has understanding of what I speak. Or to pick the numbers I speak on command. My question is, Do you think this would have him feel this demeaning for him? Due to his anger issues I cannot bring him home and feel safe.

Aww....I'm sorry. Anything to help him communicate is worth a try. The ability to make his thoughts and feelings known might very possibly help with his anger and frustration issues.
