Accessibility for People with Limited Mobility?
rscrawford asks: "There's an older woman at my church who suffers from advanced Parkinson's Disease. She's in good spirits but misses being able to communicate with her children who live far away. Because she she has advanced tremors and her muscles have atrophied, she can no longer use a keyboard; and because her voice quavers, she probably wouldn't be able to use voice recognition software. Now, I've seen tools for people who are vision impaired or who have cognitive impairments, but what about people like this woman? Are there any tools that would help her use her computer to e-mail her children?"
They have keys that are 4 times as big as standard keyboard keys. Recommended for those suffering from Parkinson's. Also good for getting toddlers hooked on computers.
How we know is more important than what we know.
