Low-tech options for computers are such a great asset. I once had a college professor who had severe CP and had no use of his arms or legs. He would blow into a device that would direct his wheel chair. He taught as an aide in our basis computing class. When he would come over to help students, he would use a long stick device to press the keys on the keyboard. With all of his advanced devices, it was was nice to see such a simple, accessible tool.
I was able to see the use of alternative keyboards in class a few weeks ago and that is such a cool tool. I never thought of being able to use pictures as keys, but it makes total sense. It's amazing what technology can do these days!
