Students with significant or multiple impairments may require a
customized system for better computer control. Often these methods
can integrate with other technologies such as mobility or communication
systems to make them more efficient. Originally developed for business
or military operations, many of these "specialized" technologies
can be effective applications for persons with disabilities. They
require less effort to control, allowing the student to focus on
the activity at hand.
Customized computer options look to replace the standard keyboard
and mouse. Several combine both standard methods into a totally
new one. We will discuss several alternatives including:
Keyboard/Overlay Systems
Onscreen Keyboards
Head Pointing Systems
